The stock FC3 kernel has the EFI_PARTITION enabled (not sure why - the 
help for this item suggests that it is only useful on an IA-64, which my 
machine is not...).

I built a stock 2.6.9 kernel, and disabled the EFI_PARTITION (and 
nothing else).  With this kernel, I can mount the camera and modify the 
contents of the mounted fs.  The camera is not automounted, however...

If there are other tests that you would like me to conduct, please let 
me know.  I won't be able to get to them until next weekend, though..

Thanks for the help to date!
