Sony DSC-F505V USB broken in linux-2.6.0

Sony DSC-F505V USB broken in linux-2.6.0

[Roland Kwee]

Problem
=======

After upgrading from linux-2.4.21 to 2.6.0,
my camera Sony DSC-F505V doesn't connect anymore.

What I tried myself
===================

I had to change a module name: usb-uhci    (2.4.21) --> uhci-hcd    (2.6.0),
and a hyphen:                  usb-storage (2.4.21) --> usb_storage (2.6.0)

I noticed that the F505 entry in unusual_devs.h changed in 2.6.0.
I fooled around with this a bit without seeing an improvement.

What does work
==============

The usb-storage part seems to work. See /var/log/message:

kernel: scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
kernel:   Vendor: Sony      Model: Sony DSC          Rev: 2.10
kernel:   Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02
kernel: SCSI device sda: 126848 512-byte hdwr sectors (65 MB)

What is still missing
=====================

What is missing in 2.6.0 is the 2.4.21 log message:

   Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0

Accordingly, 'mount' will fail with 'not a valid block device'.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Sorry having bothered list readers, but this problem is fixed with 2.6.1.
Apologies.
Before I posted, I did notice the release of 2.6.1, read the release notes,
but saw nothing related to the Sony camera, and went ahead with the posting.

Keep up the good works!
