I have been fiddling about with the cam for some time now, and I've seen this behaviour too... It usually doesn't copy anything though (or just very little amounts, about 3-4 pictures wich makes up about 2 mb). It usually mounts, but doesn't copy. And then i see bulk transfer timeout msgs too... >Anyway, I have a suspicion that the problem is related to the UHCI drivers >rather than the mass-storage drivers, because I've recently tried the >self-same cam (and exact same kernel - 2.4.13) on an old P200MMX I've been >given (Intel 430TX chipset) and it seems to work perfectly so far... It works perfectly on the company laptop i have. No problems there. >I also found a message via Google, written *ages* ago by someone who used to >use this model camera with an OHCI chipset with no problems, but suffered the >same problem as me when using a VIA chipset and UHCI drivers. Read that one too. In the end, that person gave up and just bought a compactflash card reader. >Anyone have any ideas what the problem could be? I even tried a suggestion i read somewhere that you could try putting the USB descriptor (don't really recall the correct word he used) in the dc2x driver... and use it digita-wise. But nope. It seems to be an incompatibility/bug somewhere in the vicinity of the combination: via chipset (i'm using an ABIT KG7-Raid), UHCI drivers (or UHCI-alt, makes not much difference...) and this camera. Don't quite get it though. Is there any way to further debug this problem, to supply the list with extra information?
