I've got a Sony DCR-TRV25E which I can connect via a usb cable. It's
not in the list of working USB devices, but it is a mass storage
device.

It's detected happily enough:
Oct  9 11:54:50 nickel kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned

and the usb modules are loaded:
usb-storage            51952   0
scsi_mod               90372   3  [usb-storage sg ide-scsi]

usbcore                58304   1  [usb-storage usb-uhci]

The camera does show up as /dev/sg1, and cdrecord sees it:
Cdrecord 1.11a32 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002

scsidev: '1,0,0'
scsibus: 1 target: 0 lun: 0
Linux sg driver version: 3.1.24
Using libscg version 'schily-0.6'
Device type    : Removable Disk
Version        : 2
Response Format: 1
Vendor_info    : 'Sony    '
Identifikation : 'Sony Camcorder  '
Revision       : '2.00'
Device seems to be: Generic CCS Disk.

but when I try to:
  [root@nickel tmp]# mount /dev/sg1 /mnt/camera
  mount: /dev/sg1 is not a block device

Is this a result of not being "a working device", or do I need to do
something else?
