Well, part of the problem was hardware related. Apparently the card reader has been sitting around for quite a while on my desk and is connected through a USB extension cable. Reinsert all the plugs and joints seemed to have given me some progress. The camera is being detected now. I see a camera icon on the desktop with label "USB Imaging Interface". I started doing all this to fix this label. My idea was to check what is the volume label on the card in the camera and to give a specific one to see if it helps the label I get on the desktop. Mounting the 1G memory stick from the card reader is taking a while though. And it is still ending up with the weird errors: Dec 21 15:44:03 bijli kernel: [ 6541.920046] usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110 Dec 21 15:44:18 bijli kernel: [ 6557.136116] usb 2-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110 But this same memory stick is working in another card reader I just fished out from my desk. So as far as memory stick is concerned, I think it is the MS slot on the card reader that is the problem. I also tried the SD card in the new card reader and the partition table still shows four partition I pasted earlier. I think I will just try reformatting the cards and see how that works out. -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org.
