Hello,
it took a while, but finally I tried to fix the problem with the two methods you told me. Here's the results:
As reported before, doing
echo 'Sony:DSC - F505:0x80400' >/proc/scsi/device_info
works fine for both, 2.6.8 and 2.6.9 kernels, BUT only if the kernel option
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_RW_DETECT is not set! If this option is set, mounting the camera fails with the same errors described before.
Furthermore there's a problem with the "haldaemon" that's started by default on Fedora Core 3 systems. If the deamon is running when I plug in the camera, the system freezes completely. There's nothing I could do but to reboot the machine.
I couldn't apply the kernel patch directly, because the versions of the files in the 2.6.9 kernel seem to be different from the ones that you used to create the patch.
So I edited the files manually, and it worked fine! Nevertheless I had the same problems that I had with the echo version: "CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_RW_DETECT" has to be switched of and the "haldaemon" must not be running!
Thanks again! Greetings, Dietrich

Okay, this problem has come up before. If you like, you should be able to fix it by doing
echo 'Sony:DSC - F505:0x80400' >/proc/scsi/device_info
as root, at some time when the scsi_mod module is loaded but your device hasn't been plugged in yet. Alternatively, the patch below (for 2.6.9) should provide an easier way to accomplish the same thing. Let me know how it works out.
