Description of problem: kernel2.6.23.1-10 breaks access to Canon sd110 under KDE Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.23.1-10 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.connect camera to USB port while running kde 2.try to access camera 3.experience frustration Actual results: abject failure Expected results: access to camera's memory either through digikam, or as a USB storage device Additional info: When I connect this camera I get a KDE panel asking if I want to (1) open it in a new window, (2) digikam detect and download, or (3) do nothing. Under earlier kernels, I could access the photos on the camera by any of these three routes. In case (1) digikam launches and throws up a window for the camera; it then puts up a panel telling me that it cannot access the camera, to check that it is turned on and properly connected, and asks if I want to retry or abort. Choosing retry the connection succeeds and the digikam camera window show me the photos on the camera. In case (2), a new konqueror window appears and presents me with a list of the photos on the camera. In case (3), I launch digikam, open the camera from the camera menu, and proceed as in case (1). Under kernel 2.6.23.1-10, in cases (1) and (3), digikam fails fails and throws up the warning panel ad infinitum, as long as I press retry. Pressing abort and starting a new from the camera menu behaves identically. In case (2), the konqueror window opens, but informs me that it cannot access the device. With earlier kernels, in cases (1) and (3) lsof shows a single digikam process accessing the usb device in question, and no instances of kio_kamera are running. With kernel 2.6.23.1-10, a dozen or so instances of kio_kamera process are launched in any of the three cases, and in cases (1) and (3), lsof shows them contending amongst themselves and with 2 or 3 digikam process for the USB device.
This may be a duplicate of bug #362221. Can you try to run "gphoto2 --debug --auto-detect --summary" and see if the error matches?

As you see above, the problem persists to the latest F8 kernel. Since it's absolutely essential to me that I be able to download photos from my camera and upload them onto the net, I've kept my laptop w/ F7 where I have access to a working configuration with a 2.6.22 kernel. However, when I do boot into the 2.6.23.1-10 kernel, running gphotoq ... reveals the following:

If this is F8, can you bump the version on the bug report which is still F7? From the gphoto output, this does look like a duplicate of bug #362221 but I assume both should be left open to track different Fedora releases - one F7 and the other F8.
