Hi all,

I'm running Debian testing. I have a Sony digital camera with a Sony memory stick PRO. I also have a PNY and SanDisk memory card reader.

I used to have no problems mounting the card to get my pics off it, but a month or so ago I started running into issues. I was suspecting udev or usbmount so I would reinstall these packages and it would sometimes help.

However, this has stopped working.

I was running kernel 2.6.7 so I decided to upgrade to 2.6.12.4 and the build seemed to go OK.

uname -a

Linux mordor 2.6.12.4 #4 SMP Mon Sep 19 23:19:16 EDT 2005 i686 GNU/Linux


But I'm having worse luck now. This is what I used to have in /etc/fstab

/dev/sda1 /memorystick vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0

But now /dev/sda1 is a link which is pointing back to /dev/sda1!!!

dmesg is dumping things like

.....

I'm not sure what's going on at this point. Anyone have any suggestions?
