gruvstick hotplug?

I get this message when trying to mount
my cendyne gruvstick

mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device

But I can do a few things to "see" it. One is looking at /var/log/messages, the other is System Tools --> Hardware Browser there it shows up as a System Device made by SigmaTel. It may be the hotplug is broke / not installed correctly?

I know that it works the last time I used it on a win98 machine before the computer machine crashed and I lost the driver CD for it. I was wonder if Linux has driver and was pointed to the fact that there are hotplug services for it. Which ones, I don't know, if any one can point me to the correct services, thanks.

It is a CenDyne Gruvstick 128mb. Drivers Linux or Windoz 98 will be great.

Try

Code:

cdrecord -scanbus

and

Code:

dmesg

to see if it is /dev/sda1 and not now /dev/sdb1
