Do you need a whole print, it is quite long...

Mostly looking for stuff related to USB?

scsi_mod 111052 5 usb_storage,sg,st,sd_mod,sr_mod
usbcore 106724 5 usbserial,usb_storage,uhci_hcd

All the modules seem to be there. There is one called usbvideo but don't think that will help. Try ' modprobe usbvideo ' If it loads good, but I know nothing about that module.

Never dealt with this type of setup before. But I still have ideas. First download the sg tools from here. http://sg.torque.net/sg/index.html#U...nd%20sg3_utils
Get this rpm and install http://sg.torque.net/sg/p/sg_utils-1.02-1.i386.rpm

Now type ' sg_scan ' maybe 'sg_scan -i ' What do get here?
Now tpye ' sg_map ' What happens here?

Never tried using a camcorder with USB/Firewire connection before. What are you trying to do here? Maybe using the firewire would be the better option.

Had I had Firewire port, I would've used it, but alas, I do not have it. Thanks a lot for trying to help me. I appreciate it very much.

I am thinking on most dv cameras that the USB can only get pictures on a media card not video. Have you used the camera under Windows using the USB port and doing what you want to do? If looking for a Firewire card you might try one from Adaptec.I haven't tried but looking at getting one. My notebook has firewire port and I use it with my firewire DVD-RW drive.

I can use it without any problen in WinXP. Although it took some time to find an appropriate driver.

Regarding sg tools, I've got dependency conflicts. It suggest to delete 8 packages.

There is a source tar-ball version you can try building and install. I would not remove any rpm's just to try this idea.

Looks like a lot has been said since yesterday. Dear Foxy 123, I thought you were trying to capture video, my bad. For digital stills, you don't need to do all this mounting of your flash drive in your camcorder. I think Suse 9.2 has the same photo capture and printing application that my Suse 9.1 has, called Digikam. To get to it (assuming 9.2 has it), click on the green Suse icon in the lower left corner of your toolbar. When the pop up menu appears, under applications, go to graphics, then click on "photograph". Photograph is the Digikam software application. When Digikam opens up (needs to be in full screen view), click on "settings" , then click on "configure digikam". Then click on the "cameras" tab, plug your JVC into your computer with your usb cable and click "auto detect". It should find your camera and you can then capture all of your pictures to your hard drive and print them using digikam. If you want to edit or touch up your pictures, go to the same green Suse icon, go to graphic, then image editing to use Gimp. Let me know if this helps. Also, as far as firewire goes, you can get a firewire PCI adapter card from any electronics store and pop it into a PCI slot in the back of your computer (not as hard as it sounds). Then buy some firewire cable. If you want to capture and edit video in Linux, it's the only way to do it, as far as I know.

thanks for the suggestion. the problem is that I want to use not a still camera, but a camcorder with still camera capability. It has a memory card so you can use it as a still camera. Because of that it is not listed in neither gtcam nor digikam. Auto-detect also cannot recognise it.

Actually it looks so wierd. I mean I am only one step to see all the images: I've got this remote drive in My Computer, but I cannot access it. It drives me crazy!

I've got one more trick up my sleeve. Have you tried looking at you camcorder's drive in My Computer, logged in as root? If not, log in as root instead of your user name and go to My computer in root. It could be your permissions limit you as a user to open up that drive. In root, there are no restrictions. If it opens and you see your pictures (use kuikshow to see them), then right click on the camcorder's drive in My computer, go to properties and click on the permissions tab. Once there, give owner, groups and others permission to view and modify. Also, x box to change all folders and subfolders, then click ok. Hope it works, cuz I'm out of ideas.

no, it does not work under root either...

I agree you look so close type ' sg_map -sd ' and see what the output is.
Also ' sg_map -x '

From previous post I see there are /dev/sda and /dev/sda1? So creating them is not needed.

I am at a lost right now. How about Downloading the Knoppix CD iso and boot from that. Then try mounting it. It might not let you write but should mount as read only. If you succede there then you might try another distro and see what happens. Be best to install on a spare hardrive so as not to screw up your good running distro version.
