USB storage device not recognized

Sat Aug 30 18:42:13 UTC 2014

The GENERIC 8 STABLE r269631 i386 kernel on a Pentium 4 Prescott
ICH4 era motherboard does nothing when a Sony ICD-PX333 is plugged in.
I believe it should present as mass storage. Other mass storage devices
such as cameras etc work ok in the same USB port.
How can I debug this or send info to you for debugging?

Thx.
