Fedora List,

Okay I am getting a little frustrated maybe someone
can see what stupid little thing I am forgetting.

I have an iRiver (model iFP-780) mp3 player and I am
trying to mount it to /mnt/usb. I created /mnt/usb. I
plugged the mp3 player in with the usb cable. I tried
'/sbin/mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb'. Okay that
didn't work. Here is some more info:

/proc/bus/usb/devices contains this:

T:  Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#=  3
Spd=12  MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8
#Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=4102 ProdID=1007 Rev= 0.01
S:  Manufacturer=iRiver Limited.

E:  Ad=83(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms
E:  Ad=03(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS=  64 Ivl=0ms

/var/log/messages contains this:
Sep  2 21:45:19 localhost kernel: Initializing USB
Mass Storage driver...
Sep  2 21:45:19 localhost kernel: usbcore: registered
new driver usb-storage

0000:00:03.0: wakeup
Sep  2 21:45:32 localhost kernel: usb 2-1: new full
speed USB device using address 4

'mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb' gives this:
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device

Shouldn't the /var/log/messages say something about a
scsi emulation ...

Am I forgetting a kernel module?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ps. I am using Fedora Core 2 and both my usb camera
and usb palm pilot work fine.
