Mounting a USB digital camera on Gentoo

cameragentoousb

I'm having trouble mounting my Kodak EasyShare C190 under gentoo. It seems to be getting recognized without issue, but as far as I can tell is not assigned a device-name with which to mount it:

lsusb finds it:
Bus 006 Device 007: ID 040a:05d9 Kodak Co.

/var/log/messages seems to indicate no problems:

I've tried mountind /dev/sdb1 through /dev/sdg1 (other external devices are typically mapped to sdb) with no success.

Any ideas?

Seems the camera is not identifying itself as a Mass Storage Device, that's what the logs tell me.

You can try using:

  • fdisk to list all partitions to confirm it is not mounted sudo fdisk -l
  • Use a software like digiKam or other digital camera management software to see if software recognizes the camera
  • Check the camera settings to see if it is in PICT bridge mode. If so try setting it to Mass storage device mode
