A hald based automounter is running. > You might try booting into single-user mode so that no extra troublesome > programs are running. Then what happens when you plug in the camera? Done that. The console output is: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4 usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Vendor: OLYMPUS Model: SP510UZ Rev: 1.00 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 SCSI device sda: 2047815 512-byte hdwr sectors (1048 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: assuming drive cache: write through SCSI device sda: 2047815 512-byte hdwr sectors (1048 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: assuming drive cache: write through sda:<7>usb-storage: queuecommand called sda1 sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sda sd 2:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0 I've attached the corresponding output from /var/log/messages. The output of lsusb at that point in time is: Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:c025 Logitech, Inc.

I then returned to multiuser and issued "udevinf -a -p `udevinfo -q path -n /dev/sda`" The output is attached as well. Last not least this time lsusb yields: Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:c025 Logitech, Inc.
