I do have to tell my Olympus to go into disk mode after plugging
it into the USB hub, and then the USB connect messages appear.

Does your Minolta have a menu for USB 'activities' ?
The Olympus has
- disk   (which starts the disk mode connection)
- print  (which I havent tried yet)
- exit   (which exits disk mode and disconnects) 

Once mounted the files then appear under
/mnt/olympus/dir/dir/dp070041.jpg
/mnt/olympus/dir/dir/dp070042.jpg
etc

(cant remember what the two directories on the camera are)


olympus does this on connect

Nov  7 16:57:23 spyder /kernel: umass0: OLYMPUS u30D,S410D,u410D, rev
1.10/1.00, addr 3
Nov  7 16:57:23 spyder /kernel: da2 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
Nov  7 16:57:23 spyder /kernel: da2: <OLYMPUS u30D,S410D,u410D 1.00>

Nov  7 16:57:23 spyder /kernel: da2: 31MB (64000 512 byte sectors: 64H
32S/T 31C)

and this on disconnect

Nov  7 16:58:42 spyder /kernel: umass0: at uhub1 port 1 (addr 3)
disconnected
Nov  7 16:58:42 spyder /kernel: (da2:umass-sim0:0:0:0): lost device
Nov  7 16:58:42 spyder /kernel: (da2:umass-sim0:0:0:0): removing device
entry
Nov  7 16:58:42 spyder /kernel: umass0: detached


This is my /etc/fstab entry

HTH as a guide to places to investigate.
