"Flash Memory" is too ambiguous.  SD, MMC, CF, or (probably, since
this is Sony) Memory Stick?

Thanks for your kind response.

I'll get more information and put it here...



Although there is a basic usb disk protocol, different devices have different
abilities and some of them don't respond well to the quarries about their
abilities.

At least for me, the generic card readers tend to work a lot better then
connecting the cameras directly.

I thought I addressed that issue with my OP.

My girlfriend has a Sony Mavica MVC FD200 with Flash Memory
cards. The card reader is a Dazzle USB card reader. It mounts
just fine with Windows XP, but does not mount with Debian.

She's not trying to mount the camera directly, she's
trying to mount the memory card using a Dazzle USB reader.

If you can compile a kernel yourself then you can compile in debugging for usb
to get some debug messages.

I'd rather not. If Debian or any other version of Linux can't do the
things she wants, then it's going to get tossed off the machine, and
XP installed, probably.

You can also try to look at the output of dmesg and cat /proc/bus/usb/devices,
the first gives you the kernel messages and the second, what usb devices are
recognized on your system.

Worth a shot. Thanks!

She has successfully mounted a USB drive on the same USB port.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
