Reading pictures from HP R707 digital camers

Hi steve,


try to rmmod all usb modules and just insmod usb-uhci.

I'm not sure what to make of this:

>insmod usb-uhci
insmod: can't read 'usb-uhci': No such file or directory

Everywhere I look,I'm finding things that are different in the 2.6.9-1.667 kernel, so this is probably another one. :-/

Hi Steve,

After remove all usb modules,perform command "
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/kernel/drivers/usb/host/uhci-hcd.ko" to have a try.

Here's what I got:

>remove all usb modules
bash: remove: command not found

>insmod /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/kernel/drivers/usb/host/uhci-hcd.ko
insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/kernel/drivers/usb/host/uhci-hcd.ko': -1 File exists

It doesn't seem to have helped, in particular FC3 doesn't seem to support "remove."

Hi steve,

perform following command
rmmod ehci_hcd
rmmod ohci_hcd
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.9-1.667/kernel/drivers/usb/host/ohci-hcd.ko
mount /dev/sda /mnt
ls /mnt

If it is still not work, the following URL hope to help you.

Thanks, Nick. It took awhile to try because my daughter was using the camera again.

Unfortunately it still isn't working. I'll try the links.

Any change in status on this issue?

[Steve_160]

Unfortunately, no. I'm still having to use Windows to read the pictures. Even a memory-card reader didn't help.

I suspect that the card uses the NTS filesystem, which would account for the problem.

With the camera plugged into the Linux box, and with the automatic modules installed (usb-storage et al), issue the following commands:

file -s /dev/sda
fdisk -l /dev/sda

This will list the filesystem time and a few other bits of interesting information.

The fact that you can 'mount /dev/sda /mnt/something' is a bad indicator, but the two above should help us figure out if we can use a '-t'..

[Steve_160]

Both commands hang forever. I can't even kill the processes.

The camera also hangs. I have to pull the battery to get it to turn off.
