   My camera is also a Kodak - EasyShare C300.

   I certainly will, I just downloaded your kernel and I will play with it 
today.

   I did manage to get the test photos off the camera yesterday, but not with 
BL.
A Google Linux search for the camera revealed that this camera uses a PTP 
protocol (developed by Kodak and others) but is amenable to gphoto2. 
Accordingly, I downloaded and compiled (in SW9.1) libgphoto2, gphoto2 and 
gtkam, and was able to access the photos (but not the movies) from SW9.1.

   Here's hoping that David's kernel makes it all a lot simpler.

Regards,
         Ron
