out. I have a Sony DSC-P71 with a memory stick. I am trying to connect using an USB port. In Redhat all I had to do was type camera:/
in Konqueror and it would mount my camera and show the images. I have all of the USB and SCSI (not sure if mine is acting as a SCSI mass storage device) enabled in the kernel, but not as modules. I have tried to emerge hotplug and then run the script, but on startup it says hotplug fails at start. I probably don't have it configured corrrectly. Thanks |

I have a DSC-S70 and have had some luck with getting it mountable. Have a look here for all the info I think is relevant to getting it to that state. It might not be perfect, but I'm still "fine tuning" my system.
Do you get any additional messages at the end of "dmesg" when you connect the camera? If not, what does dmesg display when you have booted with the camera connected? Post either one. |

This is the output from dmesg:
hub.c: new USB device 00:1f.2-1, assigned address 2
usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x54c/0x4e) is not claimed by any active driver.
I'm confused?? |

Here's what appears at the end of my dmesg output when I attach my camera to the USB.

Which kernel are you using? I'm on 2.4.20-gentoo-sources-r2 at the moment. The development kernels I've tried do not behave the same. (they see my scanner, but not the camera...) I haven't tried other kernels yet.
Post your USB, SCSI, file-system, and partition types sections of your /usr/src/linux/.config Do they look similar to what I posted in that other thread?
Also, here is every usb related entry that I get from dmesg's output when booting:

The USB and SCSI sections above should let you see the devices, which for me appear in /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/ You should get a "disc" a "part1" and a "generic" device listing in that directory. The following symlinks appear automatically in /dev that point to those devices:
| Code: | lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 33 Apr 6 11:34 /dev/sda -> scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 34 Apr 6 11:34 /dev/sda1 -> scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 36 Apr 6 11:34 /dev/sg0 -> scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/generic |
To be able to mount the device you see, the filesystem section definitely needs at least vfat, I have the others MS types in for good measure.
Take care if you manually edit ".config". Make a backup of your existing one first. These sections of my .config are from 2.4.20-gentoo-sources-r2. If you are using a different kernel, I would try to make these chnages using make menuconfig. Help for each option gives the name of the option.
Ensure that the filesystems for your hard drive are included.  |

My SCSI and USB sections are similar to yours, I do not have vfat file system support, but I don't have anything listed under /dev/scsi ??

Do I need to re-compile the kernel and allow for vfat support, by the way, I have all kernel settings as Yes not modules. Or do I need to try a different kernel? Thanks for all your help. |

".config" determines what is included in the kernel or built as modules, so for any changes made to it to take effect, you will need to recompile your kernel. Sorry, I had assumed you knew that.
Try building one with the settings that work for me - follow the building a kernel part of the build intructions - and see if your boot messages change.
Copy the new kernel to a new filename, not overwriting the old one, eg
| Code: |
linux # cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-02 |
Don't forget to mount /boot first!
edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to add the new, and keep the old. the top of mine looks like this:
| Code: | default 0
timeout 4
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo 2.4.20-gs-r2-04
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage-2.4.20-gs-r2-04 root=/dev/hda5 hdd=ide-scsi
title=Gentoo 2.4.20-gs-r2-03
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/bzImage-2.4.20-gs-r2-03 root=/dev/hda5 hdd=ide-scsi
|
You want to be able to choose your current kernel that at least boots if the new one doesn't, for whatever reason.
The /dev/scsi stuff will dynamically appear when the camera is connected, or if it is connected while booting.
Are you running the same kernel?
You will need vfat, as the camera formats the stick to that filesystem (afaik). This assumes, of course, that our cameras work similarly! But I think that's a safe enough assumption. Don't forget the partitions section either. But that is for mounting the "drive" (mem stick). We need to get to the point where you see the devices first. |

Ok, I will re-compile the kernel and use make menuconfig.
Hopefully once I add in Vfat support, at least I will be able to see the camera. Am somewhat confused as to why even if I have SCSI and USB similar to yours I still can't see it in /dev/scsi. But I will re-compile, I did know that much at least, and I use Lilo, so don't know how to add a second kernel in LILO......... |

It's the USB and SCSI sections that should determine whether you see the device as a scsi drive.
The partition and filesystem sections are then needed for mounting the partition.
Configuring a kernel can be quite frustrating... Even if you make it exactly the same, there's no guarantee it will work for you.
Good luck. |

Now that I have re-compiled the kernel, I get this output from dmesg

Is this NVRM AGPGART have to do with the camera, or is this something having to do with the nvidia-kernel |

It doesn't look like we are any closer yet.
May be a dumb question, but you are booting with the new kernel?
Do your USB and SCSI sections of .config now match mine exactly?
I'm pretty sure you will need the
| Code: |
USB Support --->
Support for USB (CONFIG_USB=y)
Preliminary USB device filesystem (CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y) |
The help for that option basically states that "/proc filesystem support" -
| Code: | File Systems --->
/proc file system support |
work together and should also be enabled.
| Code: | USB Support --->
UHCI Alternate Driver (JE) support
USB Mass Storage support |
| Code: | SCSI Support --->
SCSI support (CONFIG_SCSI=y)
SCSI Support ---> SCSI Generic Support (CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=y)
SCSI Support ---> SCSI Disk Support (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y) |
What might also be relevant, is the Input core support section.
| Code: | Input Core Support --->
Input Core Support
Event Interface Support |
The help for event interface support states "Say Y here if you want your USB or ADB HID device events be accessible under char device 13:64+ - /dev/input/eventX in a generic way. This is the future ...". This might tie in with the option:
| Code: | USB Support --->
USB Human Interface Device (full HID) support |
that I have enabled.
Beyond that, I can't think of anything else.
The AGPGART stuff is to do with nvidia. |

"May be a dumb question, but you are booting with the new kernel?"
Yes I am.
"Do your USB and SCSI sections of .config now match mine exactly? "
Yes
None of the following I had enabled, re-compiling now 
P.S. Thanks for the help, you wouldn't also know how to install gentoo-artwork themes, I have emerged them, but don't know how to activate them.

Ok, kernel is re-compiled, this is the latest dmesg:

usb.c: USB device 4 (vend/prod 0x54c/0x4e) is not claimed by any active driver.
Maybe I need a new kernel, I am using Vanilla-sources |

In KDE, the control center has a themes section, haven't played with it much as I like the 3.1 default look a lot. If you are using other than KDE, I have no idea...
Haven't tried vanilla-sources... It would be missing a lot of the newer/experimental stuff, but would be more stable. Try Gentoo-Sources, that's what I have it working with in 2.4.20-r2. Gaming-Sources are also said to be very good, but I haven't tried it and can't say if the camera would work with it. |

I'm having USB problems too.
First off, I have no /proc/bus/sub directory. When I try to create one it
"mkdir /proc/bus/usb" it says 'no such file or dierectory' yet /proc/bus/pci exists !
So I created just a /usb direcotry and tried 'mount -t usbdevfs none /usb' but it says ' fstype usbdevfs not supported by kernel' .
In my .config it says
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
What's wrong ? |

Hey, it works !
I recompiled the kernel with the usb and scsi stuff as modules, and mounted the filesystem as usbfs, not usbdevfs. |

That was my reaction when it first worked too! I have everything compiled into the kernel except the AGPGART so I can switch between nvidia's and xfree's module, as well as the ALSA sound modules, and the lm_sensors modules.
Have never figured out the advantage of not building stuff into the kernel.
Are you using Gentoo-Sources-2.4.20-r2 as well? If other, please let us know.
Gentoo-Sources-2.4.20-r2 has a bug where it doesn't read the kernel command line for setting cdroms to be emulated via the "/dev/hdx=ide-scsi" parameter. A real pain. |

| If I re-compile the USB and SCSI sections as modules, how do I load those modules? |

I'm not sure enough about loading the modules to give you an answer on that one, but bearing in mind that this might not be the best answer...
modprobe adds modules to a running kernel.
lsmod lists modules that are running.
/etc/modules.autoload is a file that lists all modules to be automatically loaded at boot time.
I have since played with gaming-sources, and vanilla-sources, and got the camera working with both of them the same as it does for gentoo-sources.
I can post the whole ".config"s for any or all if you like. |
