After I plug the camera into the USB slot, the output from "mount"
says (among other things).....

usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)

dmesg | tail gives the following.....

hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-1.1 assigned address 4
hub.c: new USB device 4 (vend/prod 0x686/0x400f) is not claimed by any
active driver.
SCSI subssystem driver Revision 1.00
Initialzing USB Mass Storage driver....
usb.c: registered new driver usb-storage
scsi0: scsi emulation for Mass Storage devices
Vendor: minolta Model: Dimage Camera Rev 1.00
type: direct access ANSI ScSI revision : 02
WARNING USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured
USB Mass Storage device found at 4
USB Mass Storage support registered.

So it *seems* as if everything is mounted correctly.......but I still
don't see anything when I do an "ls" from /mnt/camera.

Any further advice or suggestions highly appreciated!!

(PS: I can't seem to run lsmod. When I type it, I get an error msg
telling me its not a bash command. Whereis shows it to be in the /sbin
dir. But even issuing the command from that dir doesn't work).
