Greetings all; FC1 with a 2.6 kernel. I've removed as much scsi stuff as I can and still run my tape drive, meaning I must have scsi tape support, and because its a changer, scsi_generic. But when I plug in my camera on a usb port, and turn it on, this falls out of the logs: May 14 00:34:40 coyote kernel: usb 3-2.2: new full speed USB device using address 91 May 14 00:34:40 coyote kernel: scsi23 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices May 14 00:34:41 coyote scsi.agent[18357]: how to add device type= at /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.4/usb3/3-2/3-2.2/3-2.2:1.0/host23/23:0:0:0 ??

Previously, the module usb_storage, built into the kernel, seemed to handle it well enough that I could at least "mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera" and download the pix (provided I deleted them from the camera in the reverse order of their being taken that is) -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
