USB Pendrive for Slack 10.0

Expand Post »

I tried using my usb pendrive, but it won't mount. I been doing a little bit of research on it, the problem might be that I either don't have scis emulation, and I need to rebuild my kernel again, or something else is missing. I rebuilt from the 2.4.26 to the 2.6.7 kernel, and I believe it has scsi emulation but I need to activate it. Could someone please help. Thanks in advance.

Re: USB Pendrive for Slack 10.0

The problem is with links in many other distros. The usb device isn't symbolically linked...the 2.6 kernel changed the mount point for USB devices and they forgot to update the symbolic link. Do a google search for USB and fstab problems with the 2.6 kernel and you'll find out what I'm talking about. I would give you more info but I've only read about it and not experienced it.
