Hello,

I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I have looked a lot for the solution to this, but have not found anything - I'm sorry if I'm posting something very obvious or already answered. I've just installed kernel version 2.6.13 and am having problems with the scsi support for mass storage devices. I have compiled all this into the kernel:

CONFIG_SCSI=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y
CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE=y

well - I've basically tried compiling just about everything in.

I'm trying to attach a digital camera via usb (not usb2 - hence uhci here). The output for /proc/bus/usb/devices shows up the camera, and hotplug loads libgphoto2, but in the messages log there is nothing saying SCSI emulation for mass storage devices. I notice also that in my udev.rules file there is nothing to create the sda* devices although I was hoping to see it mapped to sda1 or something. Output of /var/log/syslog and /proc/bus/usb/devices below as well as the only usb part of my udev.rules file.

proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is pointing at udevsend and this is doing something right as hotplug is managing to load the libgphoto2 library and various directories get created in the sys/bus/usb/devices directory. I'd really like to know what I'm doing wrong and why udev isn't creating a device, and more importantly why the SCSI emulation never appears in the /var/log/syslog. Should I just ignore this and write a new udev rule?

Many thanks for any help you can give me

Ewen
