Digital Camera Problem

[darkphoenix16]

Hi, I have a Panasonic DMC-LC43 camera. Im trying to get it working in linux...
I'm using the new 2.6 kernel (gentoo-dev-sources). I believe I have everything right in the kernel.
When I plug in the camera I get this from dmesg:

hub 2-0:1.0: new USB device on port 2, assigned address 2
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
drivers/usb/core/usb.c: registered new driver usb-storage
USB Mass Storage support registered.
scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices

Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0
WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured
USB Mass Storage device found at 2


...So I think the above is good news right?

I know that it uses the FAT (16) filesystem by checking in windows. So I put the following in my /etc/fstab file:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera fat user,sync,noauto 0 0

when I : mount /mnt/camera
i get : mount: fs type fat not supported by kernel

Now, I have a fat32 partition mounted using vfat..which I think is strange since I cant mount a fat one.

So I believe this mught be a problem with the camera (which is why I posted it in hardware). I have fat and vfat compiled in my kernel, I had modules before with no change.

If anyone has some suggestions let me know.

Thanks

Hi, thanks...I didnt know about the msdos type....vfat didnt work but msdos works great!!!

This is fantastic...this camera isnt supported by gphoto2 but I can still get the photos by setting it up as a USB mass storage device There is an error in my dmesg now when I plug in the camera...but I can still access the pictures. Maybe this will be of use to a programmer somewheres so I will post it but there is no problem now.
