I have Casio qv-3000ex and tried following commands to load modules for usb which seemingly worked:
1. modprobe sd_mod
2. modprobe usb-storage
3. modprobe usb-uhci

Now, doing "mount /dev/sda1 /camera" is giving following error message:
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device

In /var/log/messages following messages seem to be relevant:
.................................................................................................... ...................

Can anyone give some tips how to tackle this problem??

It doesn't look to be an issue with scsi, it seems that the camera just isn't being seen as a USB mass storage device. You can try a newer kernel, 2.4.18 from RH7.3 is about 8 months old now. There were a lot of mass storage fixes in 2.4.19.

Or, if it becomes a headache you can always buy your way around the problem by getting a USB CF reader, almost all of those are supported these days.

thank you finegan!

it did work on another ommputer. My friend tried it out. I will come back as soon as I know more what was the spec of the that system...

I came through this posting and thought I should post the solution to prevent others from making the same mistake.

it was just the usb chip disabled in bios. Everything was fine...
