Unable to mount usb digital camera
Hello everybody.
I've spent days reading posts and trying them out, but I couldn't succed in using my Kodak EasyShare CX4200 with Gentoo 2.6.5. Here's the system: Kernel 2.6.5-r1 Here's what I have activated in the kernel: Code:
Device Drivers --------> uhci-hcd and usb-storage When I plug in my camera (which, by the way, works in Windows as a drive and worked in mandrake 9 with Digikam), I get the following results: Code:
frost linux-2.6.5-gentoo-r1 # dmesg Code:
frost linux-2.6.5-gentoo-r1 # cat /proc/bus/usb/devices How can I acces my camera? Any ideas are welcome! |
You could try to create the node with mknod
mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1 then set the required permissions on it or use fstab brw------- 1 root root 8, 1 May 5 1998 /dev/sda1 Any other devices named sd in you dev folder? |
the easiest thing is to just buy one of those little
kodak or other brand usb card drives they are very cheap (make sure it supports the kind of memory card in the cammera) plug in the drive pop the card out of the camera stick it in the drive i made a directory called /mnt/cam mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/cam cd /mnt/cam completely eliminates the need for connecting the camera |
I'll try the thing with mknod...
I don't want to use a card reader, because I use my camera's internal memory (16Mb), so I can only acces it with the camera. And besides... It works under windows as a hard disk! It must work under linux too! I've done Code:
frost root # mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1 Code:
frost root # dmesg I keep thinking I missed something when I compiled my kernel... but it seems to be all there... Please, if somebody would print out EXACTLY what I need in my 2.6.5 kernel to make it work, I'd be grateful!... I've tried other solutions posted, but I don't get a /dev/sda (and it doesn't work)... And by the way, I don't have any /dev/sd* devices... (I don't have any scsi devices, and my cdrw uses atapi, not scsi-emulation) |
Check to see that scsi_mod and usb-storage are loaded with lsmod.
Also checkout this modinfo scsi_mod modinfo usb-storage |
usb-storage loads perfectly on bootup, but I don't have a scsi_mod:
Code:
frost root # modinfo scsi_mod Code:
frost root # lsmod Thank you... |
I'm not sure but lets check out this...
grep SCSI .config |

anway you are barking way up the wrong tree trying to use usb mass storage which is why i suggested card reader kodak cammera uses PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) not usb mass storage http://ptp.sourceforge.net/ try this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gphoto cause what you are trying ain't ever going to work |
I would say try another usb storage device and you'll see if it's working.
Good point on the Kodak. All cameras are not created equal. My Olympus works great as a drive. I use it more to put files on then I do as a camera. |
DavidPhillips: Here is .config
Code:
mad_ady@frost linux-2.6.5-gentoo-r1 $ grep SCSI .config I will look into ptp. If you have any more sugestions, I'd be happy to hear them! |
I have gphoto2 installed. I read parts of the online manual and FAQ and I tried some troubleshooting...

Code:
mad_ady@frost mad_ady $ gphoto2 --auto-detect I'll keep digging... Maybe I can find something.... It seems to me that the usb port dosen't register properly (although my usb printer works fine!)... I still think it has something to do with that SCSI modules.... |
Mine has CONFIG_USB_HPUSBSCSI=m , not sure what difference it would make in this case.
Another system I have has that set to =y |
