[Sheflug] Different USB woes.

[Richard Fletcher <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, me again. One problem with the USB I had, was that the connecting 
cable was not pluged into the right pins, but now I've bent a pin I have the 
box recognising devices. So I went to get a SmartMedia reader, a Memorex one. 
The usb Mass storage driver claims it as its own but I cant seem to mount the 
card. 

Having tried 
cfdisk /dev/sdb  
cfdisk /dev/sdb1
and getting an error (Cannot open disk drive)
even though I know its mapped there

>scsi_info /dev/sdb
SCSI_ID="0,0,1"
MODEL="Direct-A "
FW_REV="SCSI"

>cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: CyberDrv Model: CW038D CD-R/RW   Rev: 100C
  Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: Memorex  Model:  Reader 3        Rev:
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 03
Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 01
  Vendor: Memorex  Model:  Reader 3        Rev:
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 03

The card seems to work fine in the Camera. I am getting worrying things from 
the debug messages;

sdb : READ CAPACITY failed.
sdb : status = 1, message = 00, host = 0, driver = 08
Info fld=0xa00 (nonstd), Current sd00:00: sense key Not Ready

 sdb: I/O error: dev 08:10, sector 0
 I/O error: dev 08:10, sector 0

/var/log/boot.msg contains

Note the second to last line. "Not Ready"

What Im thinking is that there is a problem with the reader. It manages to 
identify itself and the driver seems to think it can handle the reader, but I 
suspect its also possible that the reader isn't working properly. That is I 
suspect it cannot read the memory card. There is a red light below it which 
I've only ever seem on during boot up.

Whats going on please.

Any help appreiciated.

Cheers
