After another three or four hours of work it looks like it may be supported by the USB mass storage protocal that I read about in the gphoto FAQ.
When I boot-up with the camera turned on and connected - everything seems to run smoothly and there are no errors as it loads the modules etc. When the camera is turned off but connected, there is the following error "insmod usb-storage failed".
When I run hardrake (using Mandrake 9.0), it picks up the usb device as the following:
BUS:SCSI
Location on the bus: 0:0
Channel: 00
New devfs device: scsi/host2/bus0/target/lun0/disc
Old device file: /dev/sdb
host: 2
info: Pana Mass Storage
lun: 00
Media class: hd
raw_type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
usb_bus: USB
usb_description: (null)
usb_driver: unknown
usb_id: 9074
usb_media_type: Mass Storage|SCSI|Bulk (Zip)
usb_pci_bus: 2
usb_pci_device: 2
usb_vendor: 1242
vendor_name: unknown
This looks almost identical to the specifications of my usb memory stick, hence I tried to mount the camera in the same way:
## mount -tauto /dev/sdb /mnt/pana
The process just hung and nothing happened.
When I tried to use gphoto2, I tried to run the autodetect and the camera was not picked up.
Any ideas on my next path to follow.
Thanks.
