[gentoo-user] Problem mounting USB Drive/MP3 PLayer

[forgottenwizard]

First off, the MP3 player is a Zen Stone, which generally just needs to
be mounted like a hdd.

When I have it plugged in, dmesg and lsusb tell me it is seen, but the
device (generally /dev/sda1 or similar) does not show up.

This is a new kernel, so what kind of option may I be missing, or what
else could be wrong?

If you are using the standard gentoo configs see if 

#
CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN=y

That did it for me with a card reader and some others.

Alright, I did that. I tried to enable a few other options within SCSI,
and none of them did anything. Dmesg still says it sees the device,
knows it is USB, gives is an address, and designates it a configuration.

I'm going to look at the USB options and see if there is anything there
I missed.

You could start by sending the dmesg output that occurs when you 
(re-)plug the device... It should be easier to see what's wrong then...

Alright, I've got it. It doesn't mount via sda anymore, but by uba.
Either way, it works. Thanks for the help.

You don't normally want that, for one thing it is slower. Set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UB=n in your kernel config.

The point here is, it works. If anything it seemed slightly faster, but
considering I'm not too worried, I'll leave it as-is.
