[Wylug-help] Help with usb stick

[Roger Greenwood]

Quick and dirty solution : reboot machine, plug in stick. USB support is
still very flaky for many distributions.

This could be a number of reasons.

Perhaps the usb-storage module isn't loaded so the device isn't accessible.

Maybe the partition table has become corrupted.


Where do you see the I/O error message? Does it occur in the system log?
What steps do you need to do to reproduce the problem?
