I got my stick mounted under x86/kernel2.6 as /dev/sda1 When i now want to mount it on the ibook, i have to use fdisk and initialize a new partition map like this:I have a similar problem. I can mount a USB key under i386 with /dev/sda1 but it refuses to be mounted under linux on a Powerpc.
first look if you have CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION=y in your ppc-kernel. Here's what i did to make it work: CONFIG_MSDOS_FS=m CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION=y CONFIG_FAT_FS=m CONFIG_VFAT_FS=m CONFIG_USB=m CONFIG_USB_DEBUG=y CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=m CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=m CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=m CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=m CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=m CONFIG_SCSI=m CONFIG_SCSI_QLA2XXX_CONFIG=m CONFIG_I2O_SCSI=m - fdisk /dev/sda - o , to make a new DOS-Bootsector - create new linux partition - t , then choose c for Win95 FAT32 (LBA) - save&quit fdisk - mkdosfs /dev/sda1 - added this 2 lines to /etc/modules.conf: alias autofs autofs4 alias scsi_hostadapter usb-storage - apt-get install hotplug Since i did this i can mount the stick on my ibook/x86/macosx/winme greets, clee -- moqua [at] gmx.net moqua [at] kurtenba.ch
