|
I'm trying to mount my camera but I get the following error:
| Code: | mount -t vfat /dev/sg0 /mnt/camera/
mount: /dev/sg0 is not a block device |
I think I compiled all the needed options into my kernel:
CONFIG_USB_STORAGE
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG
What could be the problem? |

I'm going to go way out on a limb here and guess that sg0 isn't a block device. 
Sorry, I couldn't resist... Anyway, /dev/sg* are generic scsi devices. USB-storage stuff (like your camera), should show up as a scsi disk device, /dev/sd*. Try mounting /dev/sda (or sda1) instead of sg0. |

I dont't have /dev/sda*
When I hook my camera to my laptop than dmesg | tail looks like this: | Code: | ...

Maybe I have to compile in SCSI disk support. Compiling kernel right now... |
