Hi all, This may tick Ed off as it is nothing nice towards him, but still...
Since two days USB acts funny. I have a Belkin SD card reader that used to behave when I plugged it into a USB port. It would generate a /mnt/<somedir> and that is it. Now, even after a reboot, I get all kinds of weird messages. Dmesg shows nothing wrong: usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 scsi3 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 2 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning Vendor: Model: Rev: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi3, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 usb-storage: device scan complete But when I try to mount the device, I am told that there either is no medium, or that the medium does not contain a valid FAT filesystem. Sometimes I also get the message that device /dev/sda1 does not exist. Which is true, but I see that /dev/sda is there. Softlinking that to sda1 does not help, though. The SD card (Sandisk, 128Mb) is from my camera, and that worked well before. I formatted the card with the camera, to no avail. Other cards give me the same harassment. So far I have not been able to get Gphoto to recognise the camera (Canon Powershot A620), although I think that should be possible. On win..urgh..things it just works, withe supplied Canon software. But I don't want to start the old PC with that stuff each time I have pictures to download to the linux machine. The PC is a Dell, 1.8Ghz pentium, 512Mb Ram and USB2-connections. And yes, I tried several ports too. Any clues, hints, pointers, ideas or solutions? Thanks!
