It arrived!

My 6GB MP3 player/recorder has arrived! Photos to follow.

Linux doesn't seem to want to talk to it, or my USB camera. Time to join the linux-usb mailing list, I think...

Here's the error I get:

hub.c: port 2, portstatus 103, change 0, 12 Mb/s
hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned device number 4
usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=4 (error=-110)
hub.c: port 2, portstatus 103, change 0, 12 Mb/s
hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned device number 5
usb_control/bulk_msg: timeout
usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=5 (error=-110)

I've done a bit of a search, to no avail. It won't talk to my camera either - exact same result.

Windows will talk to both.

Ah. OK. Outside my "expertise". Sorry.

what make are they ? i've had a certain amount of trouble with my mp3 player, but once we'd figured out why that wasn't working, the digicam (a fuji finepix one) worked just as it said it would on the page with all knowledge on it. have you got
the usb-storage module loaded ?

I got it working in the end. I had to switch a meaningless switch on my BIOS from "Windows 98/2000" to "Other" (I dual boot, so the right choice wasn't clear). The help text read something like "Incorrect setting may cause unexpected behaviour".

don't you just love helpful help texts ? :-/

thankfully, i only have to dual boot (debian/xp) one of my machines, the others are all debian-only, so i'm unlikely to run into *that* one.

glad you got it working in the end.
