I can not mount my gp2x on my linux (arch linux) desktop. I followed the instructions on: http://wiki.gp2x.org/wiki/Easy_mounting_in_linux . But when I try to run 'mount /dev/gp2x' it says: 'special device /dev/gp2x does not exist'. What should I do?

in /etc/rc.conf i have HAL in "DEMONS" section.
this automatically starts DBUS.
user must be in groups HAL,DBUS and of course in group STORAGE eventually for auto cdrom mounting in OPTICAL.
gpasswd -a your_user_name HAL
gpasswd -a your_user_name DBUS
....
...
logout user and login back
now you plug gp2x into usb using cable and on gp2x select NAND or SDCARD to mount into desktop.
i hope this help a little.
tested in ARCHlinux [dont panic] and Ubuntu GG without any prob

Developing for the GP2X since 2006
I didn't have to go through all that, when I plugged mine in /dev/sde was added (sda-sdd are my card reader).
I fnd it better to use USB networking - you get telnet, samba and ftp then.

Plug in you usb device, do *not* use the usb cable that came with it. Run dmesg, note the name of the device that just appeared and make sure you have a line to support it in /etc/fstab of something like
CODE
/dev/sdd1 /mnt/sd vfat user,noauto,rw 0 0
CODE
/dev/sdd1 /mnt/sd vfat user,noauto,rw 0 0
Well I tried 3 different cables, and every time this is what came out from dmesg:
553a554,557
> hub 1-0:1.0: Cannot enable port 6. Maybe the USB cable is bad?

I also tried usb networking: http://wiki.gp2x.org/wiki/UsbNet_on_Linux but it doesn't show up and I get the same error when I check dmesg!

Sounds like it's timing out, the usb interface gives up after only 500ms or something too short like that, are you plugging it directly into the motherboard or a hub plugged into it? Looks like hub with a port of 6. If so try without.DJ Amireh said:

disable usb 2.0, your gp2x will be detected properly, and you can then follow the steps elsewhere
type sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd to disable usb2 under ubuntu
