Re: Debian can't mount Camera Memory Stick

My GF has a situation in which she cannot mount a camera memory
stick. Here's the setup...

CPU<--->HUB<--->Dazzle[<--Stick

The HUB is from Radio Shack. The Dazzle is a device used to
interface the memory stick with USB. The memory stick is
a Sandisk 128 MB memory stick for a camera. Using her laptop
and XP, with the same Dazzle and memory stick, it mounts
just fine. With her desktop and Debian, it fails to mount.

Also connected to the hub are a WD USB hard disc, and an HP printer,
both of which work fine with Debian.

Well, I tried plugging the Dazzle directly into another USB
port, and it mounts just fine. So, why can't the stick mount
through the hub? The "real" disc mounts fine.

The USB ports on this machine are in the back, and it's
inside an armoire so basically enclosed. Since the Dazzle
needs to move to other computers as well, it's inconvenient
to pull the CPU box out and plug it in that way. I'd just
run the cable up to the top and leave it that way, otherwise,
but it does need to move.

In syslog I see problems reading the MBR from the "disc",
and fdisk can't read it, either.
