I am beginning to suspect the Compact Flash card this camera uses may be corrupted somehow. I have reformatted it, took some new pics, connected the camera which was recognized, but I had to mount it manually. It used to mount automatically because I was running Ivman, but I removed that thinking it may have been causing problems. When I mount manually I can go in an copy pics, BUT half the time the copy doesn';t work or the pic is corrupt. In addition, the pics are bad quality with what looks like smoke in various parts. Anyway to make a long story short I am going to try replacing the card with a new one and then we'll see whether it's Linux, the card or the camera. > > What you posted in your first message suggests to me the camera is > recognized correctly and that udev creates the device node and loads > usb-storage.
