Description:
I have HP PhotoSmart M307 digital camera which is configured to connect
to computer as USB disk drive. This works perfectly with SuSE 9.3 and
FC3.

After I installed Ubuntu 5.10 over FC3 on the same machine, I haven't
been able to connect the camera to the computer anymore. It still works
with my other computer running SuSE 9.3. I'm not able to mount the USB
drive automaticly nor manually through mount command. When camera is
connected, "sudo fdisk -l" hangs.
