[gentoo-user] usb-storage detected but drive not assigned

[maxim wexler]

Hi group,

I can't mount a usb music stick with a fat fs because
a drive letter eg /dev/sda has not been assigned.
Here's dmesg:

<snip>
usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and
address 2

And $cat /proc/partitions only lists the two
hard-drives.

The device works OK in another gentoo unit with the
same kernel config and modules as far as usb is
concerned.

I did #mknod /dev/sda b 8 0 and tried to mount it
there and then tried /dev/sda1 but got "/dev/sda not a
valid block device" and "/dev/sda1 does not exist"
respectively.

Yes, the fat and vfat modules are inserted.

Maxim
