I have a fuji3800, very nice camera, works well with kernel 2.4.20. (you say 2.4.?) The filesystem is vfat. I made a directory, /mnt/camera and an entry in /etc/fstab:
I have recently purchased a Fuji FinePix 3800 digital camera. It works
fine under Windows, but I have been unable to figure out which device
I should mount to mount it under Linux 2.4.
I tried sda and sda1 and got "Not a valid block device".
It seems to be recognized OK in the kernel.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera vfat defaults,user,noauto 0 0
which works when I "mount /mnt/camera".
If your kernel is at least 2.4.20, then try this. From a terminal, as root:
tail -f /var/log/messages
then plug in the camera and turn it on.
You should get some messages as follows:
Jun 2 17:27:43 noisy kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:11.2-1, assigned address

(note: noisy is the name of this machine.) If so, try mounting /mnt/camera (or whatever mount command you use) to see what happens. Mine shows the following.
Jun 2 17:29:13 noisy kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0

Jun 2 17:29:13 noisy kernel: sda: Write Protect is off
Jun 2 17:29:13 noisy kernel: sda: sda1
I first attempted to connect using kernel 2.4.18 and 2.4.19, neither of which would work, but on 2.4.20 it worked first try. I can download and upload. I have a small python utility I wrote that works with the 3800 and the directory /mnt/camera to copy or move pictures, if you would like to try it after you figure out the device.
Hope this helps.
