Sda1 removable

Thanks for the above replies. It seems I am not alone.
We'll have to investigate the matter further, and if anyone finds a
solution, please post it as it will benifit us all.

I've got Creative Nomad MuVo 64 as a present. For about two weeks I was
trying to upload some files onto it in Linux, to no avail. I even tried
several latest 'live' Linuxes, and installed 10.1 "Communist". The
latter -- I am not going to say it's buggy, no, I am not saying that...
-- the latter installed after some problems and then I managed to foobar
it within half a day. It crashed so hard that I did not feel like
restoring it (kernel panic, lost data, etc.) 10.1 CE did not handle my
gadget any better than other distros, it would detect it's presence yet
unable to do anything with it.

At one point I managed to mount the Creative Nomad MuVo 64 mp3player and
I destroyed it's file system. Went to Creative's support page, found new
firmware and upgraded the gadget (for the record: firmware ver 1.4, with
RAW filesystem; needed Win32 system to do that, though.) After that it
works just fine in any Linux installation I tried. Went back to MDK 10.0
Official and it handles the gadget automagically.

I'd suspect hardware problem, either your computer's USB controller or
the gadget.
Get hold of some other usb-storage gadget, like *standard* CF card
reader, and see if it works.

I'm on Mandrake 10.0 Official too, and when I plug in my camera, it
creates and mounts to /mnt/removable/. When I unplug it, it takes a few
seconds before it removes the /mnt/removable/ directory. If I try to
access (ls, cp) this directory at this point, without the camera plugged
in, it freezes (almost) solid and I have to push the reset button.

Similar, yes. If I plug the USB port of my UMAX AstraPix 540 camera into
my desktop PC with MDK10.0-OE, it freezes solid about one second later.
If I plug the same camera into my laptop with MDK10.1-CE, then it works
perfectly with /mnt/removable containing the jpegs simply appearing with
no prior setup required from me, and I can move the files around without
any problems.

Maybe it's a hardware difference, or maybe it's because MDK10.1 handles
USB better than MDK10.0.

Maybe putting MDK10.1-CE on my desktop PC would solve its USB problem,
but I don't want to do that just yet, because the version of wine that
comes with it crashes my Agent newsreader, whereas Agent works fine on
the wine in MDK10.0.
