Comment:
When connecting the same camera to SuSE 9.3 kernel doesn't detect the
partition table either(?). Ouput of dmesg on SuSE:

It still does mount properly both automated and manually by giving command "mount /dev/sda /mnt/".

I also tested Ubuntu 5.10 with self compiled vanilla kernel 2.6.15 with
no better luck. I used Ubuntu's config though and made only oldconfig
("make oldconfig)" before compiling.
