Sandisk ImageMate

[Vendall]

Hello,

I am trying to install a Sandisk ImageMate usb compact flash card reader on my Slackware 9.0 system and I am having some difficulty. Do I need the scsi_mod module for it to work, since I already have usb-storage running? When I try to insmod scsi_mod, I am told that it doesn't exist. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

'scsi_mod' does not exist or the insmod command?

See if you have scsi_mod in your modules directory

/lib/modules/<kernel version>/kernel/drivers/scsi

or

locate scsi_mod

Perhaps the module is not required for the card reader. Can you mount the Sandisk?

[Vendall]

scsi_mod does not exist. And no I cannot mount it. It would be mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/sandisk , right?

Have you tried any of the other card reader related threads as they should help with the required modules etc.?

JL forum search results for 'usb card reader' (http://justlinux.com/forum/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=678847&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending).

Yes, I did search around quite a bit. Guess I'm gonna have to do some more digging. =)

Did you try the search results that I posted? They should give you a good idea of what is required and what to look for when troubleshooting.

Then you will need to tell us what you have tried so far so we know what you could be missing and possibly offer suggestions.

What modules are loaded (lsmod)? Stock or custom compiled kernel? What mount commands and the errors? '/etc/fstab' entry for the device and mountpoint? Is the device detected on boot (dmesg)?
