still trying to get my FujiFilm FinePix A330 to connect to my slackware
system. i just compiled a kernel (2.4.26), with help from Brian. Thanks
brian. Still can't get camera to connect properly, but i'm closer. i've
compiled usb mass storage and ohci into the kernel, along with usbdevfs,
scsi emulation, scsi generic support, etc. here is the dmesg output with
the new kernel:

here's the output from /var/log/messages when i connect the camera:

cat /proc/scsi/scsi when i plug the camera in and turn it on says that there
is nothing hooked up with scsi emulation. where do i go from here?

It is PTP not a FAT file system. Darn, I read about this before I purchased
my camera to make sure it was going to be seen as a FAT and not PTP. Forget
the particulars, but google for it and ye shall find.

Get a cheap USB card reader - they work much more easily and you're not
using the camera batteries while doing file transfers.

Wont help if PTP. Check to see if gphoto2 supports your camera's PTP file
system.

already checked out gphoto2. have it installed. and mmptp, which is a ptp
module (http://www.michaelminn.com/linux/mmptp/README.html). with the
mmptp, i no longer get a msg saying that no driver has claimed the device,
and mmptp says it's found the device. but i can't seem to mount it.

as for gphoto2, i run it after i pluged in my camera and turn it on, and all
gphoto2 says is that it's a ptp device. nothing else. it should at least
tell me the camera model number.

i've also found that i should run mount on usbdevfs: mount -t usbdevfs
none /proc/bus/usb

and that gives me data in /proc/bus/usb/devices when i plug in my camera,
and says my camera make and all that. so...i'm closer than i was. i just
can't mount the device yet. strange thing is, i'm using the fujifilm
finepix a330, and several websites say that it should work with mass
storage module. however my mass storage module does not say it's scsi
emulated like it should in dmesg.

any more comments would be very welcome. when i get this to work, i will
post a small tutorial on how to get this camera to work

thanks for your posts,

You don't mount ptp devices you use an app like gtkam to access the ptp
device.

You're probably right, but I thought that PTP or not only applied to the
camera - the card is the same either way.

ic. well, i tried the mmptp program that came in the package to access the
camera, i just tried to get information from the camera, and mmptp just
timed out. so i don't know what to do about that, and i can't seem to find
any troubleshooting posts with google.

still working on it,

Doesn't it ask to choose which camera in the camera select box?

> thanks for your posts,

Wish could help more, looked at my old version of gphoto2 and it doesn't have
your camera listed. But keep at it and good luck, the right combination is
there somewhere.
