The device works fine on a Pentium system (RedHat 7.x) with a similar vintage kernel.
Can you try it with the kernel from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/ak/test7/ [on SLES8 you may need to install it with --nodeps --force, but it works]
It took a while for me to get around to this, and in the mean time I got UnitedLinux SP3, which includes k_smp-2.4.21-143.
I'm having slightly less trouble with the Microtech USB Cameramate, in that puging and unpluging the module hasn't crashed the kernel, yet, but I still can't read the medai.
This really looks like a hardware issuse. Does the same camera work at other systems? Is your USB port working with other devices?
Yes, and yes. Actually, it is a "cameramate" flash card reader, not a camera. I've got it working in a Linux/Intel system with RedHat 7.3. Also, the USB ports on the Opteron have successfully run a prom programmer that I built, so the ports are OK. The Microtek Cameramate is an oddball device. There are Linux drivers for it in the tree, but they are relatively recent. It is plausible to me that the cameramate driver has never been tested on a 64bit system. -- Steve Williams "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at icarus.com But I have promises to keep, http://www.icarus.com and lines to code before I sleep, http://www.picturel.com And lines to code before I sleep."
