SLES8 vs. Microtech USB Cameramate
I have SLES8 with the latest (precompiled) kernel updates on an AMD64 (HDAMB) system. I also have a Microtech USB Cameramate compact flash/smart card reader. It appears that it does not work. It recognizes it as a usb-storage device, but that's it. It *appears* that the Microtech CompactFlash (DPCM) support is not enabled in the kernel, but I cannot find a kernel compile .config file to check. (Also, I'd *rather* stick with mainstread kernel binaries if I can. Don't really want to o off in a tangent and confuse the Yast2 updates.) -- 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."

It should be enabled. But you can check in /proc/config.gz -Andi

Doh! (Slaps forhead) I shoulda guessed that. Yes indeed, all the configure options needed are enabled, but it still does not work. The following dmesg output is the result of my attempt to plug in an access the device. "fdisk /dev/sdc" and "fdisk /dev/sdd" just get me error messages. What's worse, if I unplug the device and plug it back in, it locks up the system. The device works fine on a Pentium system (RedHat 7.x) with a similar vintage kernel. -- 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." hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/3, assigned device number 2 usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x7af/0x6) is not claimed by any active driver.

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] -Andi

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.

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."
