This may be related to a problem I've been experiencing with FC1 on my
Thinkpad 570E and my HP Photosmart 315 digital camera.

Plug in the camera - hotplug detects it, makes a mount point
(/mnt/camera), and loads usb-storage.  This seems to be the correct
behavior.  

Try to mount the camera - mount hangs for about 30 seconds, then I get a
kernel panic and a hard lockup (requires powering off the machine).

Other USB devices I've tried (USB CDRW drive, USB mouse, USB Zip drive)
work fine - but this camera kills FC1 every time.

I just installed the latest kernel update - haven't had a chance to see if
that helps.

Anyone else had trouble with digital cameras causing kernel panics in FC1?
