The question is:
I did a clean install of Sabayon x86_64 with KDE desktop (in this case the 9 up-to-date version).
I updated the kernel to version sys-kernel/linux-sabayon-3.4-r3 (because it also installed virtualbox)
When I connect my phone (Sony Ericsson Xperia MiniPro SK17a) in mass storage mode nothing happens, fdisk-l returns nothing, and dmesg tells me the following:

Android phone has 2.3.3, and is configured to work in mass storage mode (in archlinux is mounted without problems) so do not think it's a phone problem.
Searching the internet did not find much, only these two links:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-90 ... art-0.html Gentoo's forum, where it poses the same problem, but apparently do not find a solution, and also involves compiling the kernel (I don't have the skills yet to do so)
http://j0d3.blogspot.com.ar/2009/07/acc ... linux.html is a guide to set up an HTC phone. Again involves touching the kernel (and not is for the sony ericcson)
Anyone else had this problem? Can it be that only some package is missing me? I really do not want to have to compile the kernel to access my phone in mass storage mode.
thank you very much!
