gruvstick hotplug?

[reddwarf2956]

I get this message when trying to mount
my cendyne gruvstick

mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device

But I can do a few things to "see" it. One is looking at /var/log/messages, the other is System Tools --> Hardware Browser there it shows up as a System Device made by SigmaTel. It may be the hotplug is broke / not installed correctly?


I know that it works the last time I used it on a win98 machine before the computer machine crashed and I lost the driver CD for it. I was wonder if Linux has driver and was pointed to the fact that there are hotplug services for it. Which ones, I don't know, if any one can point me to the correct services, thanks.

It is a CenDyne Gruvstick 128mb. Drivers Linux or Windoz 98 will be great.

That message could also indicate you do not have scsi emulation enabled. Search the JL forums for 'sda1 not valid block device' to find previous threads on the same message.

Also search G4L for 'cendyne gruvstick' to see if you can find any tutorials/guides on setting up.
