Hi folks, New to the list and minimal Linux experience so far, with this environment being just a little different than the one I usually work in... Hope someone can help. I have a Verdex XL6P and am trying to get a USB flash drive working with it. I plug it into the USB port with the supplied cable and gender changer, and the device is recognized. I have putzed around with it trying to get it mounted and it can't find the device...Rather than post all this, is there a step by step description on how to do this? I suspect that their may packages missing, etc. Any help is appreciated... Borre |

Borre if you run 'dmesg' you should see /dev/sda[1] appear. I've had a couple of usb devices that don't work properly unless they're plugged in before I boot. -- Brad |

Hi Brad, Thanks for your very quick response. Yeah I had tried bringing it up with the flash drive plugged in with no difference in results. I tried dmesg and no joy. sda1 is not found when I try to mount. There are no sda or hda entries in /dev. I am running the factory image it was shipped with. I did build an image following the instructions on the site, but have not loaded it. Can you tell me what standard practice is? Whether the default image should work or whether I should immediately be putting a new image on when receiving a board? I had hoped to get this working before I started overwriting flash images...

Borre > I am running the factory image it was shipped with. I replaced it with the latest oe image and didn't need any changes for usb drives to work. What you got on the board might be old. -- Brad |

Hi Brad, Yeah that seems to have fixed it. I loaded a new image, and when I plug in the flash drive it now: - assigns some SCSI stuff (which it did before) - assigns sda: sda1 (which it did not do before) I can now mount the file system and get at the flash drive.
