Do you have generic scsi support running -- this would be the module
"sg"? What about the usb-storage module? (To find out, do an 'lsmod' as
root, and see if these appear.) If not, do a 'modprobe sg usb-storage'
as root -- and you'll need to add these to /etc/modules.
If these modules are not present on your system (you'll know if you get
an error message), you'll need to install a different kernel (I'm using
the kernel-image-2.4.18-586tsc on my system, and it works) or compile
your own with the proper modules.
Both of these modules -- usb-storage and sg -- are needed to communicate
to usb storage devices. Once these are loaded, you should be able to use
the camera just as you were trying.
