Yeah, you're right, I don't think it is mass storage. It had worked without me doing anything so I guess I just assumed it was a mass storage device. So my question now is, why did gphoto2 quit detecting my camera. Maybe it was the switch to udev? Thanks for the info. -Wes -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] USB, udev, and SCSI emulation
I've been researching getting my camera to work and I have a few questions. I'm running udev and kernel 2.6.15.1. 1) For USB mass storage to work do I still need SCSI emulation or does udev remove that requirement? 2) If so do I still need to pass the kernel parameter hdc=ide-scsi? 3) Should SCSI emulation be automatic with udev, or might I need to write a rule for it? 4) If SCSI emulation is working will I alway see a line in dmesg about a new SCSI device? Most howto's seem to suggest this but I want to be sure. 5) Any other things I ought to be looking at? Thanks! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] USB, udev, and SCSI emulation
Hi, I don't require scsi emulation for use with my USB camera/storage devices. I don't use ide-scsi (its not in my kernel). You might like this: http://www.abdn.ac.uk/~fac075/howto/udev.txt Which is a simple udev howto I did.

(deliberately ambiguous here to a either/or question) 2) If so do I still need to pass the kernel parameter hdc=ide-scsi? no. that's only for scsi emulation of IDE devices, like DVD/CDR drives for example. And to my knowledge it is no longer used nowadays as cdrecord et al started supporting ATAPI... 3) Should SCSI emulation be automatic with udev, or might I need to write a rule for it? first. 4) If SCSI emulation is working will I alway see a line in dmesg about a new SCSI device? Most howto's seem to suggest this but I want to be sure. generally, no. You should see a line (or many lines, actually), after plugging in your camera, about a mass storage device found. 5) Any other things I ought to be looking at? http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_USB_Mass_Storage_Device W -- Pintsize: The Borg were hot.
