Hi,
I have installed Madrake v9 in a AMD-XP-2100 on a ASUS motherboard. When
starting linux I can read kernel messages detecting USB ports, however
in the /dev directory the subfolder USB is empty and no USB device
appears elsewhere. As I have a digital camera which uses USB port I
cannot load images from it through the gphoto program.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Just get 2.4.19 and compile it with all usb options that you need.
I think USB support is specific to every digital camera:

--- USB Imaging devices x x
x x< > USB Kodak DC-2xx Camera support
x x
x x< > USB Mustek MDC800 Digital Camera support (EXPERIMENTAL)
x x
x x< > USB Scanner support
x x
x x< > Microtek X6USB scanner support
x x
x x< > HP53xx USB scanner support (EXPERIMENTAL)

The digital cameras I've played with (Sony, Nikon) just look
like USB mass storage devices (disk drives). You plug in the
camera and access it as a FAT filesystem on /dev/sd<something>.
