I am trying to configure the usb port to be able to download the pictures from my digital camera.
I have been looking at the USB Digital Camera HOWTO, but the assumption is that the devices /dev/sda* already exist.
I don't have any devices 'sda*' under /dev.
I tried the following:
1. I tried to load the module 'sd_mod.o' thinking the driver would create these entries but nothing happened.
2. I recomplied my kernel to directly incorporate the SCSI code within the kernel-- not as a module-- but the entries 'sda*' were still not created.
3. I tried to create manually these devices using mknod, following something i found on the web:
mknod --mode=660 /dev/sda b 8 0 mknod --mode=660 /dev/sda1 b 8 1 mknod --mode=660 /dev/sda2 b 8 2 mknod --mode=660 /dev/sda3 b 8 3 mknod --mode=660 /dev/sda4 b 8 4
But when I tried to mount my filesystm using mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera, i got an error saying that the device is not valid.
. When should these devices be created? . Any advices/help?
Thanks,
S.
