Mounting cybook under linux

I have some problem while trying to mount the cybook under linux. When plug in the device only the inserted SD card could be recognized but not the internal memory, so to say, there is no /dev/sda* for the internal memory created. dmesg shows also only the SD card. Is there anything to do with the kernel modules?

Normally the SD card is /dev/sda1 and the internal memory /dev/sdb1.

I have set these rules for udev:

BUS="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}="Bookeen ", SYSFS{model}="Cybook Gen3 -FD", KERNEL="sd[a-z]1", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cybook"
BUS="scsi", SYSFS{vendor}="Bookeen ", SYSFS{model}="Cybook Gen3 -SD", KERNEL="sd[a-z]1", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="card"

This way the cybook (no matter wich sd?1) comes out as /dev/cybook and the SD card as /dev/card. If your distribution is decently recent (even 3 years old should do), it probably uses udev already. Search Google for a tutorial/howto on how to use and write udev rules if you don't know it.

The recommended way to do this for modern linux distributions is to write an fdi file for HAL. That way you can specify where the device should be mounted and make it user/auto mountable. For example, here's the FDI file I use for the SONY reader and Kindle:
Code:
cat /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-libprs500.fdi

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<deviceinfo version="0.2">

Mounts fine under Suse without any configuration chabges

I have SUSE 10.3 installed on my Acer laptop, I find that if I connect my Cybook both memory card and internal memory are recognized, no need to make any configuration changes.

I did find that i needed to log off and back on again after I had connected.
