Hello!
I bought the digital still camera Praktica DC21. It is one of the
cheaper models with usb-storage emulation. Under win98, the camera works
well and appears as an additional drive in explorer, after i had the
drive-INF-file installed. The camera is a sony-based oem-version, i found
out. You can look for addidional Informations of the camera at
http://www.praktica.de.
I thought, it should be possible to use every usb mass storage device with
compact flash card under linux. But the first time i plugged in the camera
onto the usb-port, i could not even think about mounting it.
The device identifies as following:

I added the device in unusual_devs.h.
// added by chrissie
UNUSUAL_DEV (0x084d, 0x0011, 0x0001, 0x9999,
"Praktika D2MEGA",
"Digital Camera",
US_SC_SCSI, US_PR_BULK, NULL,
US_FL_MODE_XLATE ),
Then i compiled and installed the modules.
I am using Debian Linux 3.0r1, with an kernel 2.4.20, self-compiled.
chrissie@balearen:~$ uname -a
Linux balearen 2.4.20 #8 Thu Jan 9 15:55:10 CET 2003 i686 unknown
Now, i get the following output in dmesg after switching the camera on:
hub.c: connect-debounce failed, port 2 disabled
hub.c: new USB device 00:07.2-2, assigned address 2
scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices

Looks quite good, i think.
chrissie@balearen:~$ cat /proc/scsi/scsi

The device now seems to be recogniced, and the usb-storage-to-scsi seems
to work as well.
I was very happy so far. But when i enter the following:
root@balearen:~# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt -t vfat
i get an kernel oops after following additional output to the console
usb-uhci: interrupt, status 3, frame #1976
interrupt, status 2, frame #1259
a ps -ax at another console at this time tells me, that the sd_mod is in
the state initializing.
The console now hangs for a short time, and the following kernel oops is
as follows:

Additionally, a LED at the keyboard is flashing.
Now, the system is dead and i have to do a hardware-reset.
Now, some additional system information:

The processor i am using is a Celeron Coppermine 733 MHz overcloced to

Well, to come to an end:
I am really interested to get this camera to work under Linux.
Can you tell me, what to do any further? I am at the end from my sight, so
far.
Matthew Dharm: i can send the camera to you for a period of time, if you
are interested.
Thanks in advance for any help!

An oops? This is *the* first oops, please decode and post it to USB folks.
Subsequent oopses are of much less help...

I got him to send the decoded oops, but it's the usual
uhci_free_dev => ... => usb_destroy_configuration => kfree
May be fixed in pre3, may be not...
