Thanks, that proves that this is a software not a hardware problem. (It
also gives you a way to use your hardware in BL with 2.4.31 kernel and
modules).

Someone claims to have their Olympus camera working under 2.2.18 kernel.
He said he needed basic scsi, scsi disk, and scsi generic (which would be
sg). Could 2.2.26 require sg.o if 2.4.31 does not?

No, that did not help.
I still cannot use the 2.2.26 modules in BL2.1, they act like they are not there, so I put them into BL3.32 and tried again.

It looks like things are going okay until I insmod usb-storage and get (three times): bus_reset() requested but not implemented
USB Mass Storage support registered. (Unlike 2.4.31 where there is also something about sda and sda1).

I did some HOWTO reading and looked in /proc:
/proc/scsi/usb/0 (or in 2.4.31 /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/0
Host scsi0: usb-storage
Vendor: unknown
Product: USB Flash Disk
Serial Number: None
Protocol: Transparent SCSI
Transport: BULK
GUID: 113098000000000000000000000000

So 2.2.26 did find the Flash Disk.

But the two kernels differ in other files:
The above info did not get to where it was supposed to in /proc.

/proc/scsi/scsi

2.2.26
Attached devices: none

2.4.31
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel ...... ID: Lun:
Vendor Model Rev
Type ANSI (all filled in with info)

/proc/partitions
2.2.26
- hda and hdb and subpartitions of them
2.4.31
also 8 0 64464 sda and 8 1 64208 sda1

/proc/devices
2.2.26 - 2.4.31 - also Block devices 65 sd and 66 sd


Can I manually edit the files in /proc to match 2.4.31 so that I can mount /dev/sda1? I don't want to risk it in case I mess things up badly.

Some of the crashes I sometimes got were from insmodding scsi_mod and sd_mod after booting with a kernel that had them built in.

I wonder how the guy with the Olympus camera got it working with 2.2.18.

Would it help if David compiled a 2.2.26 USB-storage kernel using a config similar to his that worked? Using the same gcc etc.
