Under linux, when I load the usb-storage driver it appears as a usb-storage device on usb-view

QUESTION:

I am having trouble connecting a usb digital cammera. On windows the cammera behaves as a flash device (like a disk on key) using the generic driver. Under linux, when I load the usb-storage driver it appears as a usb-storage device on usb-view, and I see and entry under proc scsi, but sg_scan -i doesn't recognise it and I can't mount /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 with an error mount: /dev/sda is not a valid block device I have a disk on key that works fine with the driver. I tried loading just about any mtd driver that seemed resonable, but to no avail. The camera is a cj200 pocket photo advance, don't know the manufacturer (I got it from someone who got a better one). Any ideas on how to make it work?

ANSWER:

I actually just installed hotplug to test it out, but that is not the problem, since whatever it does I can do manually. I added the /var/log/messages output in the original message, and it seems that scsi and usb-storage recognize it as a usb-storage device but don't do the last bit of actually emulating the scsi disk. I have a usb disk on key that does work without hotplug. I am hoping that its just a module/parameter/configuration problem.
