Does the same card work on you rsqueeze system when using a card reader?I don't have a card reader. I always dumped the photos directly from the camera.And that can be the problem, the camera and not the memory card. Using a card reader will help you to discard (or not) a problem with the camera itself. Besides, have you tried with the rest of the suggestions (re-formatting the card, try with another one, copy the content from command line...)? :-?
To summarize the situation: + Using the same camera and card with a different lenny machine: OK. The problem appears while using command-line. + Using the same camera and another card on both machines: OK. + I couldn't find out anything suspicious in /var/log/syslog. (But honestly I don't know what to look for: what is kernel soft-lock?) Next on the agenda: + Reproducing the effect and trying to access from another machine using ssh. Something particular I should look for? + Perhaps trying this with X windows turned off (mainly to keep KDE out of the way). + Reformatting the card and re-trying. + Using a card reader (have to get one first). Thanks to Camaleon for the suggestions. Itay
