I already opened a topic in a different Forum but I thought this issue is more adeguate to this one.

The problem is DSL only detects a very old 128MB USB pen.

I tryed with the same computer on the same port pens of many brands and sizes but only that one works.

I had the suggestion to do a fdisk -l obtaining with the working pen

Code Sample

[/home/dsl]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sdb: 131 MB, 131072000 bytes
9 heads, 32 sectors/track, 888 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 288 * 512 = 147456 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 * 1 889 127983+ b Win95 FAT32
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(1000, 8, 32) logical=(888, 7, 31)

Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 7295 58597056 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)

and with all the others

Code Sample

[/home/dsl]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 7295 58597056 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)

As all pens are not listen at all, I can't understand why only one pen is liked.

I think a pen must be detected in order to use it to boot; which pens are good and which are not? (And why?)

Thanks, Fede

What happens in dmesg after you plug one in/boot with one?

I did dmesg (last 60 lines) anf fdisk -l with
- no pen
- 1 GB pen
- 128 MB pen (the working ont);
with this output

Open emelfm, double click /mnt in the right pane. It should list the mount points for your hard drive and other storage media you've hotplugged. There will be at least sda1 for the one pen, possibly other points for other pens (sdb1, sdc1, etc.) you've inserted. Hotplug assigns mount points sequentially for different devices, it doesn't recycle the same point (i.e., sda1) for different ones automatically.

Quote

I had the suggestion to do a fdisk -l obtaining with the working pen
[/home/dsl]# fdisk -l

Please try this instead so you don't keep pasting in output related to your hard drive:
fdisk -l /dev/devicename
where devicename is the point that should be set either as sda, sdb, sdc, etc., depending how many pens you've inserted.
