Please could anyone shed some light on this for me. I borrowed a digital camera and wanted to download its shots into my Linux box (Redhat 7.1 2.4.2 kernel P166 64Mb RAM). I hunted around and managed to find a place on the linux-usb.org site where several people had managed this feat with the same camera that I'm using (and using all sorts of kernel versions such as 2.0.x, 2.2.x, 2.4.x), which is a Fuji finepix 1400 Zoom with 8Mb memory card. However, I simply cannot get it to work for me. I modprobe the usb-storage, usb-core and usb-uhci modules, as per instructions and they all appear to load, according to lsmod. SCSI support is already loaded. When I then plug the camera in and switch it on, there's disk activity and files appear in /proc/scsi. So then I do the "mount /dev/sda /mnt/camera" bit and I always get a message that /dev/sda isn't a block device or sda doesn't exist. I've tried variations, like "mount -t msdos ..." or "mount -t vfat ..." but it makes no difference. It seems that the USB link works but it all falls over when it comes time to access the mythical SCSI emulation or whatever it is to read the image files.
Has anyone ever succeeded in this? I'd appreciate any guidance that's going - thanks!
Gerald.
