Hi,
I've been using a Fuji 2400Z camera for a couple of years or more
now. When I got it I chose Fuji as it seemed to be well-supported
under Linux and I had little trouble in getting it working.
I have been forced into an update of my system (IBM Thinkpad)
as the hard disk died on me, so I have installed Mandrake 10.0
with kernel 2.6.3. A bit of tinkering about and I have managed
to get the camera recognised (modprobe usb-storage seemed to
do the trick), but when I try to mount the camera, it complains
that it can't read the superblock. As far as I understood things
the camera looks like a floppy disk, which I didn't think had
a superblock. Putting -t vfat in the mount command didn't help.

Looking through /var/log/messages there are various errors
reported when I switch the camera on, including a FATAL error
referring to a module called scsimon, which doesn't exist (to my
knowledge) - I've scanned through all the kernel source but haven't
been able to locate this anywhere.

I'm appending further info below. If anyone can give me advice
I'd much appreciate it!

Bill

Here's the contents of the two /proc files that are relevant
(at least in my understanding, which is limited):

I'm assuming that the last entry is for the camera as it disappears if
I disconnect it!

Here's some of the messages from /var/log/messages:
(on reflection these are probably from the attempt before the above two)
