I didnt' give any news about my configuration problems because of other probs now solved :) So, I have something new : $ cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: ATA Model: ST3160827AS Rev: 3.42 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: USB2.0 Model: CF CardReader Rev: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 01 Vendor: USB2.0 Model: CBO CardReader Rev: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 So it seems that the reader is referenced somehow there. How could I use thes infos to make it work ? I've played with this little help : http://www.fedora-france.org/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=58 by typing : echo "scsi add-single-device 2 0 0 1" > /proc/scsi/scsi But it didn't work Thanks for the help.
