I am having trouble with two different USB thumbdrives.  One is an old
Kanguru Microdrive and the other is a new Ultra MP3 player.  Both have
internal memory, but both also have an SD slot, and that is where the
problem is.

The internal memory is recognized, I see it mentioned in
/var/log/messages, and I can mount it.  A card in the SD slot,
however, is not recogized, there is no mention in /var/log/messages..

When I plug either unit into an old Redhat 9 machine I see both
devices on both units, and can mount both the internal memory and the
SD cards.

I did some Googling and tried putting "options scsi_mod max_luns=5" in
/etc/modules.conf (yes, I put it in the right /etc/modules.d/i386 file
and made sure it appeared in modules.conf).  This didn't work (at
minimum) because the drivers were not compiled as modules.  So I tried
recompiling my kernel with some likely drivers compiled as
modules--but now the internel memory is no longer recognized on either
unit.

What is the right Gentoo way to do it?


Thanks,

-kb
