Hello everyone,
i have a digital camera sony a100. and i want to connect it to my linux box..
i got surprised i could not.... and i wonder why...
the camera is identified properly in windows...
but in linux, when i plug it in and switch the power button to the ON position, the camera will realise the usb is connected and will start negotiating with the OS.... the LCD screen on the camera says 'Initializing USB connection'... but it freezes there....
in windows this screen would only appear for 2 seconds or so....
var/log/messages realises theres a new device but takes no steps to create a dev entry or smth....

in the end i have no device appearing anywhere on the system... smth that i can then mount and use it, just like any other mass storage device...
any ideas?
searching about it produced no results...
thank you in advance
