More information on the PNY Attache 2G that is recognized but
I can not find a way to get it to mount.  Any help would be appreciated.

Here is a portion of dmesg:

Check it in c/fdisk to see if its partition table is screwed up; don't use gparted for that unless you're absolutely sure you're doing it correctly and not changing labels, etc. I just fixed a stack of zip disks last week I was told were all FUBAR but the guy who gave them to me had used parted and misset disk labels so they were misread. His mistake is my gain.

Also note, not all USB devices conform to accepted standards. What works perfectly well in Windows doesn't always work in Linux and what works with one distro may not with another. Some distros and operating systems are configured to be more or less forgiving of such things.

I looked at a PDF from PNY's site and they say their devices should work with Linux 2.4+. I also found this:

"The Attaché is ready to work with Windows Vista, XP, and 2000 for storage, no drivers required, which is the norm. It's also ready for Mac OS, going as far back as Version 8.6. Unlike its competition from Lexar—which says nothing about Linux support yet did work when plugged into a Linux machine—the PNY Attaché went completely unrecognized by Ubuntu."
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2278077,00.asp

The article is a month and a half old. Obviously, YMMV.

Edit: Does this device have u3? Some implementations of u3 will work seamlessly under Linux, some will be very buggy under Linux if they work at all -- again, some may be more forgiving than others.

Hi lkraemer!

I have 3 usb drives (all sandisk) and they all work with DSL. I have formatted them with fat32 and they work just fine. I'm posting this using a 2 GB Sandisk Titanium Cruzer with DSL 4.3 installed. Maybe reformatting to fat32 would do the trick.

Have fun with DSL lkraemer and hope everything works out for you,
meo

EDIT: Sorry I forgot to mention that I'm using DSL-embedded because it doesn't seem to be so grumpy about what kind of usb drive you are using. That might be a solution if it suits your preferences when it comes to DSL.

..such as the DSL-embedded 2 gig drive offered at the store

The PNY 2G Attache doesn't have U3.  I have used Gparted
to remove the partition, create a new one, format it as FAT
and it works fine under Ubuntu 8.04, and Windows 2K, but
still is not recognized under DSL 4.3.   I've tried LBA, and
Boot flags too, making no difference in operation under DSL.

Are there any more suggestions?
Thanks.
