Anyone know how to do this? I looked up :

# dmesg | tail

which sees the HTC G-1 Android handset and the card as /dev/sdd dunno how to go from here...

tried to mount as vfat with no luck. LOST now.

Any ideas??

Depending on the kernel version, there could be options for SD cards to compile into the kernel.

When you connect your G1, check for the messages on the display of the phone. You need to tell the phone, that it has to share the storage.

edit: basic usb-storage should do the trick.

you don't get a notification pop-up on the phone saying it's attached to a computer? You should, and if you click that and say 'mount' or whatever it is, then you can just mount it like a usb-device in gentoo.

yes i know how:

1. attach the phone and wait for the sound from the phone
2. take the phone and klick on the messages on top of the screen
3. accept the connection message
4. mount the phone in linux with "mount /dev/sdX1 /mountpoint"

sdX1 will be in your /var/log/messages

is your G1 rooted / are you running debian on the phone or do you otherwise have something on your sdcard mounted as a loopback device on your phone? If so, the phone won't give an error, but it can't unmount the card.
