helpful queries from blu discussion, elicited that:

rpm -q hotplug gives:
  hotplug-2002_04_01-3

dmesg shows:
  hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 2
  usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x54c/0x10) is not claimed by any active driver.

when the camera is plugged in, and

  usb.c: USB disconnect on device 2

when it is unplugged, indicating, i presume, that hotplug is
doing its thing.

this line is in fstab:
  /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb1 vfat user,sync,noauto,umask=0 0 0

but "mount /mnt/usb1" gives:
  mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device

there is no mention of scsi sda anywhere at anytime in
dmesg, so there seems to be a disconnect there.  exactly
what function/module is supposed to attach the usb device
to sda1?  what active driver should be claiming the USB
device?

am i missing some other essential module?
