Hi, I cannot get linux to find my digital camera (sony DSC-P10). Yes, I have turned on both the camera and the computer. The camera enters "USB mode", which it only does when connected to a live USB cable.
I have modified my fstab file (as recommended in the Linux USB sub-system), adding the line: /dev/sda auto /mnt/camera auto noauto,user 0 0 I have also made the directory /mnt/camera. However, when I attempt to mount this device (after connecting, and turning on, the camera), I get the following error message: /dev/sda is not a valid block device Also, the contents of /proc/bus/usb/devices do not change when the camera is plugged in. I have searched the mailing list, the only answered request for help with this particular problem was a note from "greg" to "alex" that the camera should work with the 2.6 kernel. It has also been suggested in a more general tip that unusual_devices.h often needs to be modified for sony cameras. I am willing to believe both of these tips, but each require a re-compile of the kernel. I am working on this, too, but have run into a snag installing 2.6-test8 (which I am taking up elsewhere). I do not think a new kernel (with the proper driver for this camera) will solve all my problems. Doesn't the comuter need to recognize that something has been connected to the USB port first? Wouldn't this register in .../devices? I am running Red Hat 9 on a home-built system. Epox motherboard (VIA chipset, see below), AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1600+ processor, plugging the camera into the on-board USB port. No other USB devices are connected to the system. Here is the output of /proc/bus/usb/devices. Note that the output does not change when the camera is plugged in. ~ :)cat /proc/bus/usb/devices T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=480 MxCh= 6 B: Alloc= 0/800 us ( 0%), #Int= 0, #Iso= 0 D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=09(hub ) Sub=00 Prot=01 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=0000 ProdID=0000 Rev= 2.04 S: Manufacturer=Linux 2.4.20-8 ehci-hcd S: Product=VIA Technologies, Inc.
