Digital Camera issue in Slackware 10.1 using the 2.6.17.1 kernel

When connecting my Pentax digital camera to my Slackware system after loading the usb-storage module I get the following output in /var/log/messages.

Code:

usb 4-2 : new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2

usb 4-2 : configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

udev[4934] : creating device node '/dev/usb4.2'

kernel : vendor : PENTAX Model : DIGITAL_CAMERA  Rev : 1.00

kernel : Type : Direct-Access    ANSI SCSI Revision : 02

Most other digital cameras that I have connected to my laptop result in a /dev/sda device which I can then mount and copy the images off. As you can see this clearly is not the case with this camera. I have started to download libgphoto and hopefully the camera will start working then..

Output of lsmod :

Code:

usbcore 

hci_usb

ehci_hcd

uhci_hcd

usb_storage 

.... and some more.

Ok the problem has been fixed. Trying to get an external card-writer working too it seems I had left out a couple of options in the kernel. Adding and recompiling them fixes the problem..

Here are the options :

Code:

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD

CONFIG_CHR_DEV

CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG

CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN



CONFIG_USB_STORAGE

CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS
