Hi,
I recently aquired a battered little usb-storage camera going by the name of Afga EasyPixSG. I was thrilled to find
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux...a50x.devel/762 which informed me that it would work on my linux system as usb-storage and a webcam
I have USB-Storage support built into my 2.6.9 kernel, so when I plugged the camera in dmesg gave:
usb 2-2: new full speed USB device using address 4
scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Vendor: USB Model: Device Rev: 3.00
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
USB Mass Storage device found at 4
However, trying to mount the device using "mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /media/camera" gives the response:
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
The same is true of all other sd devices, indeed "fdisk -l /dev/sd*" returns no filesystems at all.
I saw on another post that following the " Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02" line dmesg gives there should be another line similar to:
SCSI device sda: 1983495 512-byte hdwr sectors (1016 MB)
which I am evidently missing.
I'm using Slackware 10.0
Any ideas as to why the usb-storage doesn't seem to be binding to anywhere?
I am still relatively new to this world, so it's quite possible I've missed something obvious.
Many thanks.
