Yoper v2.1 -- Can't Mount Lexar Jumpdrive

**lakerdonald** · 09-22-2004

Hey,
I'm running Yoper, and I can't seem to mount my USB memory stick (lexar jumpdrive 128MB) I'll insert it, and the green light will go on, meaning that linux sees it, but i can't mount it. I've tried:

Code:

mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb

on every sda there is but i always get:
not a valid block device
help would be greatly appreciated, since we do a lot at school on computers, so i'd like to be able to take my work home and not hafta use my dad's windows box!

thanks

After you plug it in, post the tail (maybe -n 15) of your /var/log/messages.

hey
i got it working. turns out that usb port is kinda spazzy, unless i hook up my two-port usb adaptor to it, and that works fine. i mounted my memory stick, all went well. thanks for your help
