USB Problem with Redhat 9

[ViMan]

I'm having a problem with a usb hard disk under Redhat 9. Although I've tried things such as modprobe usb-uhci && modprobe usb-storage and lsmodding, I haven't been able to mount the device under /dev/sda1 (which is where it should be). When I try: dmesg | tail -20 (after I've modprobbed and then connected the device), I get "usb device detected at 00:1f.x.y" (I don't quite remember what x and y were since I'm not currently on the machine). Any ideas? Thanks...

Do you have a mount point in /mnt?
"mkdir /mnt/usbdrive"
"mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive"
In /etc/fstab, "/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbhd filesystem noauto,user,owner,rw 0 0"
If you have a scsi dive then sda1 may be different, sdb1,etc.
