Did you try `eject sdd` after this, and if not, try, and see how it
works.

usb-storage behaves differently in 2.6 than in 2.4, maybe this is the
problem for you now.

I get "No medium found" when I try to mount the SD card inside my digital
camera (Panasonic DMC-LC33.) It works fine in 2.4.18 that comes with Debian,
but I get the above message in 2.6.0 (and couple of releases before it - it
is a fairly new camera, ~2 months old.)

Any ideas how to debug it?

Jeff.

When plugged in:

When I try to mount it, mount refuses, but there are no log messages:

jeff:~# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera/
mount: No medium found
jeff:~#

And when I shut the camera off, I get:

kernel: usb 2-2.4: USB disconnect, address 3

The modules:
