[Sderby] Mounting a digital camera

[sderby@mailman.lug.org.uk]

Mike

Thanks for the advice. I am using SuSe 8.0. When I look at Information >
Available hardware >  Disks I can see both my IDE drive with a green tick
and a the digital camera with a crossed set of tools (I don't know what that
means).

I suspect the problem is with my SCSI emulation because Information > Block
Devices > does not list any  SCSI (/dev/sdx) devices. Information > Block
Devices >  lists
(a) device:     shmfs            mountpoint:        /dev/shm

 and Information > Partitions > lists

(a) device:     usbdevfs             mountpoint:        /proc/bus/usb and
(b) device:     proc                   mountpoint:        /proc

but  /proc/scsi/scsi is an empty document. I searched the web and found a
suggestion that I edit
/usr/src/Linux2.14.18/drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h. Does this make
sense to you?

Final bit of info /var/log/messages reports "etc/hotplug/usb.agent[3641]:
Can't find signal CHLD, forcing to default".

I am sure this will be dead obvious to you.

Thanks

Andre
