LEXAR JumpDrive 128MB and Slackware 10.1

Alright, I finally gave in and bought a JumpDrive (I'm still not convinced it was worth the 25 bucks, prolly coulda got it cheaper, screw Wal-Mart, but whatever).

This is the first time I've ever used a JumpDrive. I want to use this in Linux. After doing abit of experimenting I've done the following:

Code:

---

synthetic@darkstar:~$ su

root@darkstar:/home/synthetic# dmesg | tail

Alright, what to do from here? The drive doesn't show up in fdisk.

# modprobe usbstorage
# modprobe usb-core
# modprobe usb-uhci
# modprobe usb-ohci
# mkdir /mnt/key

add to fstab: /dev/sda1 /mnt/key vfat defaults,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noauto,user,sync,ioch arset=utf8,umask=0,quiet,codepage=866 0 0

make sure the last line in fstab is blank!

# mount /mnt/key

Code:

---

bash-3.00# modprobe usbstorage
modprobe: Can't locate module usbstorage
bash-3.00# modprobe usb-core
modprobe: Can't locate module usb-core
bash-3.00# modprobe usb-uhci

      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

bash-3.00# modprobe usb-ohci
bash-3.00#

Furthermore, /dev/sda1 is my root partition (SATA drives).

Code:

---

bash-3.00# dmesg | tail
usb-uhci.c: $Revision: 1.275 $ time 19:56:21 Jan 20 2005
usb-uhci.c: High bandwidth mode enabled

Any ideas?

I may have been mistaken, try this instead:

# modprobe usb-storage
# modprobe usbcore
# modprobe usb-ohci
# mkdir /mnt/key

notice the hyphens...mayby they were misplaced :-)
