Very Computer

I have recently purchased a Nomad Jukebox Zen and am hoping to get it
to work under Linux (specifically, under RedHat 8.0 with Kernel
2.4.18-14).

After I do
% insmod usb-storage

and see the following in /var/log/messages:

Jan 21 20:00:19 atctdhcp kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage
driver...
Jan 21 20:00:19 atctdhcp kernel: usb.c: registered new driver
usb-storage
Jan 21 20:00:19 atctdhcp kernel: USB Mass Storage support registered.

I plug in the jukebox, and see (in /var/log/messages):

Jan 21 20:01:29 atctdhcp kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on
bus1/1, assigned device number 2
Jan 21 20:01:29 atctdhcp kernel: usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod
0x41e/0x4108) is not claimed by any active driver.
Jan 21 20:01:31 atctdhcp kernel: usb.c: USB disconnect on device 2
Jan 21 20:01:32 atctdhcp /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... no modules for
USB product 41e/4108/1

and this in /proc/bus/usb/devices (if I get to it before the USB
disconnect):

So, it seems that the device and the usb-storage driver are "missing"
one-another.  My question is then, why?  And, more importantly, how do
I tell the usb-storage module to act as the driver for the Jukebox?

Thank you very much,

Scott said something about Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen:

aiui, the jukebox is not a standard HD, so you can't just mount it and
cp/rm/mv/ls etc.

http://libnjb.sourceforge.net/

is the project to build a transfer system, and is reasonably usable -
i've not played with it for a few months though.

The Jukebox Zen is actually a standard USB hard drive, not the
nonstandard stuff in the earlier jukeboxes

d'oh!

in that case, it should be mountable in the same way as iomega zip
drives / archos jukeboxes?
