All, I'm having a problem similar to that recently posted by Tet.
Here's the 'executive summary': I buy an Olympus D-520 digital camera and later learn that it doesn't work because Olympus did not adhere to the USB Storage standard. (c.f. http://garcia.myxomop.com/cgi/wiki.pl?OlympusD520 http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=1233 http://home.earthlink.net/~ebrombaugh/d150.html) So, I buy a SanDisk 6 in 1 Reader/Writer. This device appears to be properly recognized by my Mandrake 8.2 system. But, when I plug in a SM memory card and try to mount it, I get "mount: No medium found". Some guy on alt.os.linux.mandrake thought that the linux USB Mass Storage driver was unable to handle multi-format readers. That is, another type of card in one of the other slots of the reader might be recognized. The details of what I see on my system are given below. Any ideas? Duane Here's what's written into /var/log/messages when I connect the Sandisk (with SM card already inserted) to the USB bus: Nov 27 18:16:05 swing kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus2/2/1, assigned device number 5 Nov 27 18:16:09 swing kernel: usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout Nov 27 18:16:09 swing kernel: usb.c: error getting string descriptor 0 (error=-110) Nov 27 18:16:09 swing kernel: scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Nov 27 18:16:09 swing kernel: Vendor: SanDisk Model: ImageMate 6 in 1 Rev: 0.0> Nov 27 18:16:09 swing kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Nov 27 18:16:09 swing kernel: devfs_mk_dir(host1/bus0/target0/lun0): using old entry in dir: ce4042c0 "target0" Nov 27 18:16:10 swing /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup usb-storage for USB product 781/621/5 Nov 27 18:16:10 swing /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: missing kernel or user mode driver usb-storage What does that last line mean?
