Whatever was causing it to crash on this machine under 2.4.18 has gone away. It seemed to me while playing around with it that the USB system is a little fussy about the way you load the modules, I haven't really investigated that but here's what I did: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Compiled kernel 2.4.19 with everything as modules. 2. Appended to /etc/fstab the lines none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera vfat rw,noauto,user 0 0 3. Booted. 4. Created the mount point /mnt/camera 5. As root gave the commands # modprobe usb-uhci # modprobe usb-storage # mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera ---------------------------------------------------------------------- And there were all my lovely images! I don't know if I could do this with less typing (I don't really know what I'm doing:) I've tried skipping one or both modprobe steps, and also using different ones, but this seems to work so I'll stick there for now. I also haven't even attempted to write to the cards, I just copy the entire (sub)directory to the hard disc. There seems to be no reason to need write access to the card, since the camera can delete the images very easily. I believe that it is dangerous to take the card out of the camera or unplug its USB cable with the power switched on so I'm very careful about that. One more reason to use the SanDisk SDDR-09 reader when I can (If I break that it will only cost one tenth of what the camera cost. :) and it seems to be reliable now I've got the hang of it. Note that this is a genuine Pentium-II system using the usb-uhci driver. I haven't tried it using the usb-ohci driver on the machine in my office at work yet (AMD K6-II), and I have no pressing need to do that. Let me know if you have any trouble with it. 73, Ged. PS: There is one other thing I don't like about the camera. It seems to use quite a lot of power. Eventually I had to tap into the PC's 5V supply to feed the thing because the batteries kept going flat while I was experimenting. :( ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
