Do Adams suggestions below. When the kernel loads the various hardware probing leaves a log. Some useful information to look for is any hardware identification. Also you want to look for any error messages. When you plug in a USB device, the kernel will leave some message showing the new device, You might want to try some other usb gadget as well. You should see some trace from dmesg, and the new device should show up with lsusb. Once that works, usb-storage should take over. You might want to get a recent copy of Knoppix and see if it does any better. The newer Knoppix comes with an optional 2.6.x kernel. You could get into compiling the latest kernels, but that takes some experience. > > Please post what you get when you do the following: > > Unplug the USB reader and card and issue the command 'tail > /var/log/messages/' then plug the reader back in and insert the card > back into the reader and issue 'mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb.
