USB Memory stick problem

Post by gsxrboy »

Hi,

Just installed Gentoox on a 1.6 XBOX. Installation went fine. I am trying to get visibility of my memory stick. I have had a look around the forum and the concensus seems to be:

mount -t /vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/memstick

I get the following error

wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, or too many mounted filesystems.

Good old unix get straight to the point with the error messages.

Anyone help out?

Cheers

Wazza

Bad form i know, but i found another thread with the solution.

viewtopic.php?t=14&highlight=usb+drive


modprobe usb-storage
modprobe scsi_mod
modprobe ide-scsi
modprobe sg
modprobe sr_mod
mkdir /mnt/usb
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb

Though i did need the -t vfat flag.

Cheers
