one of your posts in [clie-linux]

hi!

i bought a noname usb flash drive (it's a mp3 player) which should work under 
linux, according to the manual. unfortunately, it didn't. my 
/var/log/messages seemed to report correct things but when i tried to mount 
the memory stick, it got an I/O error in the logs and a message in the 
console that the partition table was unreadable.
i've searched the internet for some days and posted in various forums but i 
didn't read anything about a success. most topics i found on google were 
about a sony clie and a memory stick problem. i thougt that this could be the 
same problem and it looks like it really is. you posted a solution:

as you asked to report experiences, i'm writing now.
first i used a 2.4.18 kernel, then a 2.4.20 and it didn't work neither. 
finally i patched the kernel to 2.4.21-rc3 and now it works. i compiled 
everything into the kernel, no modules. scsi support, usb support (general, 
ohci, mass storage, ...) and all that stuff.

long story short, i just wanted to say that patching the kernel works fine 
here.

thanks for your tip!

greetings,

ogott
