[rhn-users] USB Sandisk memory stick not recognized

[Hector Sepulveda <hsepulveda whoi edu>]

Hi,

I have a 128 M Sandisk USB memory stick and I can't make it work in RHEL AS 3.0
The system has two HD so is not about mounting it on /dev/sda1/
To make things more confusing, a friend had no problems using his Cruzer mini
USB memory stick in this same machine (mounting at /dev/sde1 ) and the Sandisk
memory stick mounts well on a system with Fedora 3.0.

dmesg shows the following:

sde : status = 1, message = 00, host = 0, driver = 08
Info fld=0xa00 (nonstd), Current sd00:00: sense key Not Ready
sde : block size assumed to be 512 bytes, disk size 1GB.
sde: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled
sde: I/O error: dev 08:40, sector 0
I/O error: dev 08:40, sector 0
unable to read partition table

Any hint?

Thanx,

Andres
