redhat 9 is obsolete. you might be able to get it to work by typing
plug in the disk, and type "dmesg" to see if it's detected.
you really should upgrade to something newer. i recommend ubuntu.
Code: Select all
modprobe usbcore
modprobe usb-storage
modprobe usb-uhci
modprobe usb-ohci

Dear,
Follow these steps.
Insert your USB in USB Port and type below command.
# dmesg | grep sd[a-b]
You will get output like this.
Code:
sda: sda1
sdb: sdb1
If you got sda: sda1 then you can use these commands.
# mkdir -p /mnt/flash
# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash
If you got sda: sdb1 then you can use these commands.
# mkdir -p /mnt/flash
# mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/flash
Best Regards.

did it work?Saqibmalick wrote:# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash
if yes, then all the files are in /mnt/flash. remember to type "umount /mnt/flash" before unplugging it. if no, then tell us the error.
why do you care about /proc/bus? if your files are in /mnt/flash, you're set.# ls proc/bus/
there is no USB folder found

Dear Farrukh,
Assalamoalekum,
I am novice in Linux, and just want to start learngin to install VMware Virtual machine on my Windows XP.
I have 128 MB Kingston USB Memory Stick, I want to use it on VMware Virtual machine, Red Hat Linux 9.0 install on it, how i mount USB memory stick?
When i typed your cmd the result is here:
# fdisk -l
command not found
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 7.5G 1.6G 5.5G 23% /
/dev/sda1 99M 9.3M 85M 10% /boot
none 78M 0 78M 0% /dev/shm
# mount
/dev/sda2 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
Thats all,
