Using powered hub and Nokia 770 in host mode. In xterm usb hub is detected, but all devices plugged into the hub are only identified by their product id and vendor id with the statement that they are not supported. How do I mount them if they are not identified properly as sda or sda1?

Through further searching I found. cd into the current directory- (# home/user/MyDocs/Root/mnt/initfs/lib/modules/current/) and load the sd and usb modules. (# insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/current/sd_mod.ko) etc. After installing the sd,scsi and usb modules the usb device will be detected in xterm as sda1 when you enter command, (# dmesg) if you are in usb host mode and have your device connected with a powered usb hub. Then (# mkdir /media/mp3player) or whatever you want to call it and (# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/mp3player -rw). That's all it takes and it works! You can also create a link in your file manager with: (# ln -s /media/mp3player /home/user/MyDocs/mp3player). Hope this helps someone and saves a lot of searching.
