Hi,
I'm using a Gentoo 1.4 from stage 1 with the Gaming-Sources Kernel (2.4.20)
.. My Problem are my both USB-Sticks (first one is 128MB MP3-Player and the
other a Sony DSC-P50). I compiled my kernel with all necessary modules and
this is my /etc/fstab line for my USB-Stick:


/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disc /flash vfat defaults,user,noauto 0 0

Now I want to access my files by "mount /flash", and now my system says:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option bad superblock on
/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disc or too many file systems.

But I can access my Sticks by "fdisk /dev/sda" and here I can change and
edit my file systems (the sony is fat12 and the other one is fat16). Can
anyone help me? I do not even know what the hell I could do now to get my
sticks running...

Thank you!

Why not change your fstab line to access "/dev/sda" instead then?

use:
msdos for fat12
fat for fat16
vfat for fat32

the line should be:
/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disc /flash fat defaults,user,noauto 0 0

Using "auto" for the file system might just work as well.

I got a USB pen drive and could not mount it. I noticed that the
partitions had error on them. I had to fdisk the disk, remove all
partitions (there were more then one), then create a new one. I emerged
dosfstools so that I could format my drive as vfat. Now it works on both
my gentoo box and a windows box!

P.S. I used /dev/sda1 just as the previous poster mentioned.

I thought that path looked funny, but I didn't comment since I don't
know exactly how those things work. Replacing "disc" above with
"part1" would also work in your case, but using the /dev/sda1 symlink
is indeed easier.

Your problem is you do not have fat listed. vfat is fat32 support only.

Oftentimes such disks have a partition (like a HD) instead of putting the
filesystem directly on the device (like a floppy). So try tacking
"/part1" onto the end of that. While the disk is in, you can see what
partitions are there by looking in the /dev/scsi/... tree.

Only if msdos/fat/vfat is built into the kernel or the modules are
autoloaded.
