No, but the problem is more basic than that, The camera is
recognized, but after mounting sometime the pics are OK, sometimes
the pics are corrupt.

Probably.
I have been having a long convo with Florian Kulzer about this
and i think my conclusion is a bad card. It does not show a partition
like this:
Disk /dev/sda: 7 MB, 7954432 bytes
>> 1 heads, 16 sectors/track, 971 cylinders
>> Units = cylinders of 16 * 512 = 8192 bytes
>>
>> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
>> frank@debian:~$
I am going to try a new card unless someone here tells me that
no partition is normal for a CompactFlash card (8 mb).
Cheers
Frank
