USB camera | Nova DC-2L

with kernel26 version 2.6.7

I've followed the Digital Camera Wiki, and it didn't work and I've followed the USB Storage wiki and it didn't work, and the problem is in where there's no device under /proc/bus/usb. In fact that entire directory is empty. The other problem is trying to mount /dev/sda1, when /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 don't exist.

I've installed lgphoto and hotplug
modprobed usb-storage and sd_mod

all this and still it's not working, any other ideas(it works under MEPIS without doing anything)

1. Are you using the scsi kernel?
2. I don't have that digi cam but with mine I had to go into the options of the cam itself and change its mode to a mass stoarage device. This might help if your cam has an option like this.

Add this line to your /etc/fstab:
none                   /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults            0      0

Then reboot.

You'll have a /proc/bus/usb then.

Re: USB camera | Nova DC-2L

well I got it working by simply typing hotplug start, odd why it didn't work before..
