I'm using Fedora Core 3 and can't get it to mount a USB flash drive.

Based on what I've found on nesgroups, here is what I've done and the
results:

[liam@WEBDEV01 Tracking Sheets]$ cat /proc/bus/usb/devices | grep 1111
(nothing found)

[root@WEBDEV01 ~]# `which lsmod` | grep usb
usb_storage 61321 0
scsi_mod 118417 3 usb_storage,libata,sd_mod

[root@WEBDEV01 ~]# /sbin/fdisk -l | grep sda
(no reply)
[root@WEBDEV01 ~]# modprobe usb-storage
(no reply)
[root@WEBDEV01 ~]# ls /dev
(the only item in there beginning with "s" is "sdb"

[root@WEBDEV01 mnt]# mkdir /mnt/thumb

[root@WEBDEV01 mnt]# mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/thumb
mount: special device /dev/sda2 does not exist
[root@WEBDEV01 mnt]# mount /dev/sda /mnt/thumb
mount: special device /dev/sda does not exist
[root@WEBDEV01 mnt]# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/thumb
mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist
[root@WEBDEV01 mnt]# mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/thumb
mount: special device /dev/sda3 does not exist
[root@WEBDEV01 mnt]# mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/thumb
mount: special device /dev/sda4 does not exist
[root@WEBDEV01 mnt]# mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/thumb
mount: special device /dev/sda5 does not exist
[root@WEBDEV01 mnt]# mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/thumb
mount: special device /dev/sda6 does not exist

[root@WEBDEV01 mnt]# devlabel
-bash: devlabel: command not found

And that's as far as I've gotten in what I've found on the 'net to help
with some ideas.

I have hope as usb_storage is part of lsmod, but I'm at a loss of what
to do now.
Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Liam
