Custom Image advertising itself as Drive instead of USB drive

[Virendra]

Hi,

I have an issue with the current custom image(kernel_version=4.1.20) where the image advertises itself as a disk image. I didn't have this issue in the previous version of image(3.8.13-bone74.2). The previous version of image will present itself as a USB drive.

The 4.1.20 Image advertises itself as a disk, and when I plug into my Linux RedHat host, the /boot partition mounts, and a window pops open on my Linux host.Instead, it should present itself as a USB drive as done in previous image 3.8.13-bone74.2. My observations below are plugging the same Beagle board Black in the the same Linux host using the same bus powered USB port on the Linux host.

here is what I see on my Linux machine:

[root@cva-mp104 ~]# uname -a
Linux cva-mp104 2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jun 13 18:24:36 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

With my Current image(4.1.20) - There is an issue:

With my previous image(3.8.13-bone74.2) - There is no issue:

here is what I see (Notice the "NetChip technology" ... this work great for me to ssh in over USB:

Could you please help how to resolve this issue so that the image 4.1.20 present itself as a USB drive and not advertise itself as a disk.

Thanks,

So, based on the details you provided...

You messed up your 4.1.20 .config...

Is it possible to update the 4.1.20 .config. How do I update the file to resolve the issue.

Thanks,
