Does dmesg show any new USB devices when you attach your camera?

I think I am not there yet. I did not try to attach my camera. I was just trying to do the configuration part berfore that:

1./sbin/modprobe usb-storage

-> step 1 went OK.

2. mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera

-> step 2 did not work obviously because I don't have
the device /dev/sda1...

3. /etc/rc.d/init.d/usb start
4. mv /mnt/camera/dcim/100msdcf/*.jpg picture/$DIRPATH;


Do you
have the appropriate *HCI, USB storage, SCSI generic (needed by some but
not all cameras) and SCSI disk modules / built-ins and are they
definitely modprobed?

What is "*HCI" Do I need that?


Below are the list of modules which are loaded:
bash-2.05b# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Tainted: P
usb-storage            22264   0  (unused)
sd_mod                 11020   0  (autoclean) (unused)
scsi_mod               89268   1  (autoclean) [usb-storage sd_mod]
vpnmod                187808  -1  (unused)
prism2_pci             57008   1  (autoclean)
p80211                 17036   1  [prism2_pci]
usbcore                56000   1  [usb-storage]

Do you see anything new in /dev/discs/?

Not much...
bash-2.05b# find /dev/discs/ -print
/dev/discs/
/dev/discs/disc0
/dev/discs/disc1

Thanks for your reply.

S
