Dear Mukund JB.:
I have some comments inline.

Dear chunk,
Here are the details of my understanding.
The cannon camera (other devices too) formatted SD is indeed a partition
FAT12. When I said
No, you did not say "sfdisk" in your original message.
I am not familiar with "sfdisk" as either a console command or as a device.
Sfdisk -l, it showed the fs ID as 1. 1 is indeed the FAT12 fs ID.
What is "it"? ^
Attached are the logs for win and camera device sfdisk -Vl /dev/tfa0.
I think that attachments are not passed through a 'list server'. I see
no attachment(s).
Mine is a FAT12 device.
So, what did u do to fix this problem? U did not mention it.
You did not describe your problem in enough detail for me to understand
what you did or what happened that you did not expect to happen or
what did not happen that you expected to happen.
Please indicate, explicitly, what devices you have. i.e.
Memory card (SD?) and how you are connecting your camera or its memory card
to your computer (USB?)...
Please show exactly what you typed and exactly any error message(s).
Please copy and paste (not attach) the new lines appended to
/var/log/messages
when your camera device is connected to your computer.
Regards, Chuck

Dear all,
I have a problem with mounting the SD cards formatted on the digital
camera on my Linux BOX. But I am able to mount and access the same
devices on WinXP.
I think someone might have faced the same problem. Did u find some
solution to this? Please convey if any.
When I have tried to find the fs type SD card formatted in camera.
I found it to be FAT12. Does the linux kernel have the support for
FAT12
fs?
I suppose it does. But, why am I not able to mount the device.

Dear Mukund JB:
What did you do that did not work?
I have difficulty also, from time to time, mounting my
Compact Flash device using a CF->USB media reader.
You may simply be missing the needed drivers. :-|
I have 'usb-storage' listed when I:
# lsmod
I first insert the memory device onto the reader.
Then connect the USB cable to my computer.
# tail -f /var/log/messages

Then I:
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/hd
# df -T
To show mounted filesystems and types.
Mine shows type 'vfat' for my Compact Flash -> USB device.
# tail -f /var/log/messages
To show errors
