I have a digital cameria I'm trying to work with in debian 3r3 with kernel 2.4.19...

I am pretty sure I have everything I need in the kernel, at least I did get usb support and /proc/bus/usb support. but when I plug in the camera and type run usbview i get the following error:

Can not open the file /proc/bus/usb/devices

Verify that you have USB compiled into your kernel, have the USB core modules loaded, and have the usbdevfs filesystem mounted.

----

any ideas come to mind?

the only thing i can really thing of is that i compiled it into the kernel instead of used modules, that still should be okay.

do you have /proc/bus/usb/devices ?

if not then you need to mount usbdevfs like the error suggests.

there are two problems:

there is not mount point /proc/bus/usb

usbfs not supported by kernel.

i dont mean to wine or anything. i know what needs to be done, i just dont know how to do it. I figure i need compile the kernel with usbfs support, but i didnt see it anywhere in menuconfig.

by googling i heard that hotplug is how you get /proc/bus/usb to come up, but i did an apt-get install hotplug and still no /proc/bus/usb file.

Any help is greatly wanted.

it should be there in the USB section.
