    problems with USB key

    Hello,
    I have little problem with Slackware 10. Running 2.6.9 kernel on laptop. I can't see any usb drives such as sda1 (on SuSe, Mandrake there weren't any problems). I've been trying to configure kernel, but all my efforts seems hopeless. What should I do (check) to make my usb drive work

    No it is not detected.
    I've been trying to install different drivers (sorted by models).
    and why should I mount, if I can't see any usb drives?!..
    that's the problem (on SuSE I had no complaint).

    At last, it is working. Problems with hotplug and kernel configuration (USB Mass Storage Support).

    Can you post the exact thing you've done please. Since other might have the same issue, it would be nice to have a written solution

    Thanks in advance

    First, compiling the kernel:
    Code:
    cd /usr/src/linux-2.*.*
make menuconfig
    Find "Device drivers" > "USB Support".
    My config:
    <*> Support for Host-side USB[*] USB verbose debug messages
    <*> EHCI HCD (USB 2.0) support
    <*> UHCI HCD (most Intel and VIA) support
    <*> USB Mass Storage support[*] USB Mass Storage verbose debug
    then save .config and:
    Code:
    make && make modules_install
    reboot
    If hotplug isn't enabled, enable it:
    Code:
     pkgtool
    "Setup">tick "hotplug">"OK" & "Yes"
    Exit & reboot
    Now You should see sda1 in /dev
