Then it will probably show up under linux as a mass storage
device.

I first question is do you have USB support in your kernel? I
think RH7.0 shipped w/ 2.2.16 - therefore no. If that's the
case, you need to take two steps back to upgrade gcc and then
rebuild your kernel to a 2.4.x version(w/ support for USB, usb
mass storage devices (which implies generic SCSI)) The FAQ
points out that usb-storage doesn't work in the 2.2.x usb
backport versions. Start at the top of
http://www.linux-usb.org/FAQ.html#gs1 and work your way down.
