Hi, all

Save me plz. I just install a Redhat 9, every thing need to be setup,
but the first one is to setup my U-Disk, a USB storage as well as a MP3
player. (AIGO B06) The problem is:

1.The U-disk is good, formatted in Win, as a FAT fs, no partition. There
are few files in it, I copied them at just that afternoon.
It's a U-disk + MP3 player, it has a standard USB interface, can be
plugged and used directly.
And, my box is good, too. Though it's a bit old, It's a K6-2 400, TX
board, ^_^ At least, I can use them very well under WIN2K, with out
installing any drivers

Or say, I can use them as a good, normal U-disk in Win2k, and I didn't
do anything bad to it.

2.My linux is RH9, installed as a home/workstation, didn't do any setting
on it. those modules, such as usb-uhbi, usb-storage... are modprobed
automatically and runs well, in X (GNOME or KDE)
But I'm not clearly which modules I must install, give me a list plz.

3.After I plugged the U-disk, the lights bright, and hard disk flashed a
little while, and then, nothing happened. I was waiting...
And waiting...
At least, I tried to ls /proc/scsi, it appeared there, with a
usb-storage-0 subdir, and a "0" file in it. Seems usb-storage worked
fine, and it had been install as a /dev/sda?? Then I tried
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/UD
The light on U-disk flashed a while, and then an error scrolled out:
...superblock not find...
..or too many filesystem...

I forget the message. Then 

fdisk /dev/sda

The partition table is very strange, as it said, it has 4 partitions,
every one's border is not cylinder-aligned.??

I tried to mount /dev/sda, and it halted, a long time after, the kernel
crashed...

All I searched is, just modprobe those modules and, if you can see a
usb-storage-n dev in /proc/scsi, all you need to do is just mount it.
Why my u-disk cannot? It works as a normal U-disk in WIN2K, with out any
special drivers. Did I fail to do anuyting?

Help!
