gPhoto2 kernel problems

Are you missing a "-" between "usb" and "ohci", thus:

# modprobe usb-ohci

%            modprobe: Can't locate module ohci

Here's a clue what went wrong.

%        [root at localhost root]# mount -t usbdevsf usb /proc/bus/usb

That would be:

# mount -t usbdevfs usb /proc/bus/usb

Note the difference between "usbdevsf" and "usbdevfs". :-)

%            mount: fs type usbdevsf not supported by kernel

Naturally. I've never heard of a filesystem type named "usbdevsf".
On the other hand, I'm painfully familiar with a filesystem type named
"usbdevfs".
