This has happened to me with a few different external devices (USB
keys, etc) on multiple computers, so it seems to be a generic problem.
Right now, I have an HTC Desire HD with the smae problem...
* Either hit {CTRL}{ALT}{F12} to switch to tty12 or else (as root) execute
"tail -f /var/log/messages"
* Attach a device to the PC's USB port, and you'll see a bunch of stuff
spewing out. In my case, the last 3 lines are...
Oct 7 20:50:23 localhost kernel: [114416.426175] scsi 26:0:0:0: Direct-Access HTC Android Phone 0100 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2
Oct 7 20:50:23 localhost kernel: [114416.426336] sd 26:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0
Oct 7 20:50:23 localhost kernel: [114416.432119] sd 26:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk
* If I try mounting /dev/sdc1 (either as ordinary user or root), it's
not found
* "fdisk -l" doesn't even see /dev/sdc
***BUT***
* as root "fdisk /dev/sdc", and quit immediately
and now "fdisk -l" sees /dev/sdc, and regular user can mount it. Has
anyone seen this before... and more importantly, found a solution?
