I am trying to connect a Ricoh RDC 5000 camera via USB. OS is Slackware 8.1 
with the stock 2.4.18 kernel. Below is a clip from dmesg when I connect the 
camera. The usb-storage module is loaded and working (USB Zip drive is seen 
and works fine).

hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2/3, assigned device number 6
scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
  Vendor: RICOH     Model: USB CAMERA DRIVE  Rev: 1.05
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Attached scsi removable disk sdb at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
SCSI device sdb: 1441 512-byte hdwr sectors (1 MB)
usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 1174
sdb: Write Protect is off
 sdb:<4>usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 465

There are 2 problems: first I cannot mount /dev/sdb (1,2,etc). After the 
command (mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/camera) the console window freezes up 
and will not respond to a Ctrl C. I can kill the window but the process 
continues in "ps aux".(BTW, other devices sdb2,sdb3,etc give a no such device 
message). cat /proc/scsi/scsi shows the Zip drive, the CD-RW and the camera 
but if I do a cdrecord --scanbus with the camera connected I again get a 
terminal/prompt freeze.

The second problem is that there is a SmartMedia card in the camera which 
should also be visible/accessible and it is not.

The camera works fine under SuSE 7.3 with kernel 2.4.10. Both main memory and 
card are visible and accessible.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated,
Alan Claunch
