[ILUG] USB mass storage woes

[Marek McGann]

Picked up a nice new Philips "wearable audio" mp3 key, but having a
nightmare trying to mount it under Mandrake 10.0.

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb

either hangs (there's no output and the process can't be killed) or
reports that /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device. The actual device is
there though, and in HardDrake's hardware listing is classed as a
hard-drive. Trying to configure it from there though, just ends up me
being given my hda partition table with no other devices to choose from.

The output of dmesg is below (the usb mass storage bit is right at the
end). I'm a desktop user only though, so I'm afraid I have no real idea
what that all means.

Googling suggests others have similar problems...

Any suggestions?

Marek.
