USB Stick mount problem

I'm sorry for posting another question concerning usb sticks. I've done an extensive search in this forum but I got no answers to my problem.

I try to get my usb stick working and I just made it. I could mount it and use it for a short time, but now I can not mount it anymore. Now I got the message

"special device /dev/sda1 does not exist"

I'm using kernel 2.6.3, the module usb_storage is loaded and my fstab lokks like this:

/dev/sda1       /mnt/usbdrive     vfat,ext2    user,auto     0   0

I tried to mount the drive /dev/sda like it was said in another post, but that didn't work either.

I think, the problem began, when I tried to set up cups with my usb printer, but I'm not sure.

It would be nice, if someone could help me with this problem.

1. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB%20Sticks
2. It seems that you are missing the scsi-modules: modprobe sd_mod should do the trick

Oh yeah,

I always overlook the small things. 

I apologize for that stupid question.

Thank you!

Re: USB Stick mount problem

there are no stupid questions just stupid answers

And everything in a forum must be said before it can be searched
