Pentax Optio 330GS Digital Camera

Pentax optio 330gs


By Phoebe - usenet poster


Problem with this digital camera is that SuSE can recognize it, /proc/scsi
pcsi knows what it is... however I can't get it to mount..

when i run a mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera it doesn't like it...

thoughts?

Yes, I did all the things that you said, in fact I had done them before I
read them on your site. I did tell you the actual error message...

#mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device.

dmesg = non-existant

/var/log/messages = (kcore is the hostname)

Jan 27 16:58:40 kcore kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:02.2-1, assigned
address 2
Jan 27 16:58:40 kcore kernel: scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage
devices

So what, my camera is not even in thier at all but it still works.
I have said many times, most all cameras are the same, of course vendor
ID's are differant but basicly they all need ide-scsi emulation and they
need the usb-storage module loaded.

Mow a few questions;

1) What does 'dmesg' say about your camera when you plug it in and turn on
the pwoer.?
2) Do you have ide-scsi support either as module or compiled into the
kernel.?
All default installed kernels i know of in all distro's support it so
use one of them to experiment with.
3) Your kernel would also need FS support for your device, hence use a
standard kernel.
4) Did you try my examples on my site "To the letter"???
5) Supply the "actual" error messages to commands and DONT say;
"when i run a mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera it doesn't like it"
That tells me and others ""NOTHING""..

Help us to help you, be more detailed, unless your camera is unique and
differeant to all others on the market then it should work under linux
period.

Use google as well to help you, i can assure you folks have been here and
done that what you have now a problem with.
If you do you will see that others have your type of camera and that it is
very little differance to all others.

Turns out that in /usr/src/linux*/devices/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h the
usb-id is incorrect, so I corrected it and now am recompiling the kernel...

You are possably not loading the correct modules before trying to mount
the camera.

Take a look at my site there a page on cameras.
