Hi I recently installed kernel image 2.4.18-686 under Woody but found I was unable to mount my Sandisk CF reader (SDDR-31), whereas under 2.4.17-686 this works flawlessly.
So I get the source - debian kernel-source-2.4.18-4, configure it, compile. Still no go, but I get a handy error message (I expect because I turned on kernel debugging): # mount /mnt/cam resize_dma_pool: unknown device type -1 mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device I'm using the same usb/scsi configure options as in my successful 2.4.17 kernel, and the appropriate modules all seem to be loaded: # lsmod grep 'usb\|scsi' usb-storage 48000 0 (unused) scsi_mod 84984 2 [sd_mod usb-storage] usbcore 48192 0 [uhci usb-storage] ... usb-storage is unused though, as if the kernel can't find the device - which I guess is what the original error is saying. Anyone have any clues on this? Anything more I should try? Does this look like a genuine bug that I should report - I'm new to debian so I'm unused to the protocols for this, but as I say it works fine in 2.4.17-686 whether I use the pre-compiled binary or complile it myself. -- John Keniry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
