Card reader with microsd does not automount.

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

I have a small usb dongle that came with my microsd card (kingston) which is supposed to make it a “normal” flash drive. Inserting the “drive” results in the following entry under dmesg:

usb 2-9: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
usb 2-9: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb 2-9: New USB device found, idVendor=090c, idProduct=6000
usb 2-9: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
usb 2-9: Product: USB2.0 Card Reader
usb 2-9: Manufacturer: Generic , .
usb 2-9: SerialNumber: 12345678901234567890

however the card in it does not get mounted…any ideas?

#2

Look into the file /etc/fstab if you have this line:

usbfs                /proc/bus/usbfs      usbfs                            0 0

If not add it! The livecd’s dont seem to add it.

Thanks for the prompts response on this… I searched bugzilla for “usbfs fstab” and didn’t see an entry for this so I’m going to file a bug report.

Now I just noticed that I actually don’t need that fstab
entry, my card reader will mount anyway. Here’s my entry
in dmesg:

I notice that your’s don’t have this line:

scsi8 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices

Maybe that’s the problem?
