gPhoto2 kernel problems

[Joel Hammer]

I  gave up using a GUI for this.

Is this camera using usb-storage?

If so,

Here are the usb modules I have on my 2.4.20 machine.

usb-storage            48704   1
scsi_mod               50092   5  [sg usb-storage sr_mod ide-scsi sd_mod]
usb-uhci               20964   0  (unused)
usbcore                54272   1  [usb-storage snd usb-uhci hid]

Maybe you need hid, too and some other scsi's.

If you have all these compiled, try to insmod them in the proper order,
starting from the bottom. 

If they all load, then just plugging in your camera should show:
# cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/1
   Host scsi1: usb-storage
       Vendor: NIKON
      Product: Nikon Digital Camera E2500
Serial Number: 000003413137
     Protocol: Transparent SCSI
    Transport: Bulk
         GUID: 04b001080000000003413137
     Attached: Yes

cdrecord -scanbus will also show it.

To mount  and transfer my pictures, this works:

#!/bin/bash
[ -d /mnt/camera ] || mkdir /mnt/camera
[ -d /mnt/camera ] || {
    echo Cannot make /mnt/camera
    echo Must exit
    exit
    }
echo Attempting to detect camera
echo xxx | grep yyy
while [ $? -eq 1 ]
do
cdrecord -scanbus | grep NIKON <---Change to your camera
done
echo Camera is detected
echo Will now mount camera
umount /mnt/camera
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera
cd /mnt/camera/dcim/100nikon   <---Change for your camera
[ $? -eq 1 ] && {
   echo cannot cd into /mnt/camera
   exit
    }
for i in `dir -1`
do
cp -i $i /disks/hdc5/Pictures  <---change for your setup
[ $? -eq 0 ] && echo File successfully copied
rm -i $i
done
xv -dir /disks/hdc5/Pictures -vsmap -vsgeometry 1000x680
