output from dmesg after plugging in the camera (741 bytes, text/plain)

Description Adam Monsen 2005-06-02 20:36:26 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050524 Fedora/1.0.4-4 Firefox/1.0.4

Description of problem:
HAL recognizes my digital camera (I see good stuff in /var/log/messages when it's plugged in), but I'm unable to mount it; when I try "mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/test', I get "no medium found".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hal-0.5.2-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. plug in USB mass-storage compatible digital camera
2. try to mount the device
  

Actual Results:  mount returns "no medium found".

Expected Results:  The device should be properly mounted and the information on the FAT-formatted SD  Flash card should be browseable.

Additional info:

* other USB mass storage devices seem to work properly. I plugged in a drive enclosure containing a 300 GB hard drive via USB, and it was detected and immediately accessible via Nautilus (showed up after clicking on Computer)
* this camera works properly when plugged in to a Fedora Core 2 box I have (although I think I did have to add a line to my /etc/updfstab.conf, a file that doesn't seem to exist post-HAL)
* this camera works properly when plugged in to a Windows XP Box or an iMac box

[root@localhost ~]# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/test/
mount: No medium found

Comment 2 David Zeuthen 2005-06-06 14:53:28 UTC
This looks like a bug with the usb-storage driver. Reassigning to kernel.

Comment 3 Pete Zaitcev 2005-06-06 16:13:37 UTC
I'd like to see the dmesg after the mount attempt. Please do not
drop it into comments box.


Comment 4 Adam Monsen 2005-06-06 17:49:14 UTC

output from dmesg after plugging in the camera

Comment 5 Adam Monsen 2005-06-06 17:52:02 UTC
Oops, sorry, I misread your comment.

There is nothing additional in dmesg after the mount attempt.

Comment 6 Pete Zaitcev 2005-07-06 19:40:30 UTC
The difficulty is that last working data point is FC2, which is way too far.
How about this... Try to get the FC3 original kernel, it's still on
download.fedora.redhat.com somewhere. It will install with warnings
but we only need it for testing anyway. Check if that works.
This will cut the diff in half. We'll see from there...

Also, it's possible to try newest and greatest from Rawhide, but if
they do not work, it adds no new information about the failure.


Comment 7 Knut Forkalsrud 2005-07-06 20:29:19 UTC
The same symptoms persist in  2.6.11-1.1369_FC4

Mounting fails:
mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbstorage
mount: No medium found





Some searching around the net suggests that this is a peculiarity of the
Panasonic/Matsushita hardware in question.  Se for example this other
question/bug:  http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2004/01/msg05191.html

The resolution appears to be detailed in the mail thread here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=107298347700003&r=1&w=2

From what I can comprehend there are some usb commands for PREVENT/ALLOW MEDIUM
REMOVAL that may incorrectly be interpreted by this hardware as unload/eject
commands.  There is also a proposed patch in the email thread which appears to
have been successful for the users in question.

Comment 8 Adam Monsen 2005-07-20 23:56:13 UTC
I no longer have my Leica, so I'm unable to try your suggestions, Pete. :(
Sorry, I just sold it and hope to replace it with a smaller camera that works
better with Linux.

Knut, would you mind testing this out for Pete?

Comment 9 Dave Jones 2006-10-16 21:59:17 UTC
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5)
based upon a new upstream kernel release.

Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches
go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that
may address this problem.

This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state.
Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is
still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed.

Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter
can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list
of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a
comment to the bug.

In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5
have reported that installing a kernel update has left their
systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem
please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2
installed.  See bug 207474 for further details.

If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the
release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613.

If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different
problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem.

Thank you.

Comment 10 Dave Jones 2006-11-24 22:46:56 UTC
This bug has been mass-closed along with all other bugs that
have been in NEEDINFO state for several months.

Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, this
is the only method we have of cleaning out stale bug reports
where the reporter has disappeared.

If you can reproduce this bug after installing all the
current updates, please reopen this bug.

If you are not the reporter, you can add a comment requesting
it be reopened, and someone will get to it asap.

Thank you.
