Got the same problem with Calibre 0.7.4 on Mandriva Linux 2010 64-bit. Last time I used calibre, it worked (with the 0.5 version and a different version of Mandriva).

I should have the right version of SYSFS though:

$ grep SYSFS_DEPRECATED /boot/config-`uname -r`
# CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 is not set


$ calibre-debug -d
Version: 0.7.4

DeviceError: Unable to detect the PRS505 disk drive. Your kernel is probably exporting a deprecated version of SYSFS.

By the way, congratulations for adding lots of features. The installation was also a breeze. Just used the python command from the calibre web site. It installed without problem and at the first run it updated all my e-book collection (from the time I was using the 0.5 version). I am just missing the part where I can connect my PRS-505 now.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks.
