I asked also to the person (Klaus R�decke) that used it with an old Suse kernel (SuSE 7.3 kernel 2.4.10-4GB).
For me it worked just fine (whitout any driver from Pentax) on a WinXP machine, so I think the problem (a proprietary protocol) you're talking is referred to the 430 (non 430RS). In any case I cannot get the camera working with any newer kernel (using Debian I tried form 2.4.17 up to the 2.4.20-pre8, and 2.4.20-pre8-ac2). I got similar error, and also some kernel freeze when trying to mount the device. I hope to have the time to retry (I just put a serial console to get more info when kernel freeze) in the next days, and give more info.
