Hey all,
Got an issue with a thumbdrive that's irritating me. The drive is
recognized on the usb bus and usbview shows it using the usb-storage
driver module. The problem is that it doesn't show up as /dev/sdX. My
system is using usbfs and works fine with other drives and they show up
as /dev/sdbX. Any idea since the driver is loaded and the device
recognized as to how to get it to show up as a usable block device??
You'll have to excuse the line wrapping in a few places.

Does the 0 after usb_storage mean it's not really attached to anything?
I've seen a few forums that complain about scsi_mod has to be loaded but
mine is there and again, I have another dive that works immediately when
I plug it in.

Any ideas?? Am I misunderstanding something?
