flash drive plugged in, errors in dmesg

[Weedman]

when i plug in my flash drive (well my dse one), dmesg gives me errors and it wont mount.

i have mounted this flash drive before in slackware without any probs. My other flash drive's device is /dev/uba1 which i personally think is weird cause it used to be at (in previous installations) /dev/sda1.

here is the output of dmesg | tail:

bash-3.00# dmesg | tail
drivers/usb/input/hid-input.c: event field not found
drivers/usb/input/hid-input.c: event field not found
usb 1-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2

usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3

please help me

[kern]

recompile your kernel and take out the low performance usb driver

the module is called 'ub' and its taking over your flash stick, if you recompile or blacklist that module, it wont happen and you'll be back to /dev/sda

i know that will affect the uba thing, but will it fix the error i keep getting when i plug my flash drive in?

[kern]

if you knew why did you ask?

maybe it will, no harm trying it, did it do this before on slackware or is it the first time you've tried it?

[Weedman]

yeah ive tried it on this system before, but not with the vanilla 2.6 kernel in the testing directory.

the 2.4 kernel seams to work with it. (at least thats from memory).
