Hi all,
I used to be able to use USB flash drives and card readers and stuff like that…but for some reason I can’t anymore! I’m not sure why.
For this test I’ll use a flash card reader that I know works with a 1gb uSD card plugged into it that I also know works.

OK, so it knows its plugged in…

I don’t see any error message in the syslog…

It doesn’t show up as a SCSI device…

My /proc filesystem doesn’t appear to have anything in the usb branch…
Here’s my fstab, just for fun

I tried the above with two other devices (a USB flash drive and an external HDD) with the same results: shows up in lsusb but doesn’t mount a drive.
Any help would be appreciated!
