When kaj ran "tail -f /var/log/messages" whilst plugging in the camera there were some strange entries on sda's size and sort. What does your's say? >From what I've seen until now, I'd eliminate "supermount" as the culprit. I take this a new 10.1 install you're talking about as 10.0 used devfs and keeps it when you upgrade I haven't got my camera here at this box, but for comparison here's what I get when attaching my USB stick (which works exactly the same as my camera): Oct 28 10:52:54 triade1 su(pam_unix)[7057]: session opened for user root by triade(uid=501) Oct 28 10:53:04 triade1 kernel: usb 2-2.1: new full speed USB device using address 3 Oct 28 10:53:05 triade1 kernel: SCSI subsystem initialized Oct 28 10:53:05 triade1 kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

I've got quite a few devices on USB like an external DVD/CD-burner, gps reciever, palm device, USB stick, camera, wireless card, mouse, printer and keyboard. All work but some do sometimes need re-initiation like the usb-stick above. Be sure to disable harddrake at boot time if these devices aren't permanently connected. If you don't change your system around a lot you don't need it anyway...just a waste of time at boot. -- Good luck, HarM
