From Memory, for my Nikon 995, you mount /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1,
which is different to real hard disks, but the same as floppies.

Give that a bash.

I mount my Sanyo on /dev/sda1. fstab entry looks like:

/dev/sda1   /mnt/sanyo  vfatrw,noauto,user 0 0

Using RH8

[SLUG] Digitrex camera

2003-11-13 Thread David Perry
I am not able to successfully connect a Digitrex DSC2100 camera to my 
Redhat 8.0 system using the USB cable.   I'd rather not be forced to use 
the kids' Win 98 box to extract my photos!  I can't get much info from 
Google and certainly none from the Digitrex site.

usbview successfully displays  the camera name with a ton of other 
details but it is displayed in red which I believe indicates problems.

When I try and mount the device with
#mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera
I get the error message
#mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device

I can successfully mount and then read/write to a usb memory stick so 
the usb stack and hardware are OK.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Cheers
David Perry
