Issues Mounting a 16GB SDHC card on 11.3 Laptop

cmcgrath5035 · January 6, 2011, 5:01am

I have an HPDV7 running 11.3.

I have a new 16GB SDHC memory card.
It is formatted FAT-32 LBA

When I plug the the card into the DV7’s internal MMC/SD card slot, it automounts as /dev/mmcbkl0p1.
I can then access files (camera images) on the card with Dolphin, etc.

When I plug the card into an external card reader(USB interface), automount fails and I can see a long string of messages from dmesg. It is attempting to mount it as /dev/sdd, I see numerous I/O errors as it attempts to read various sectors.

The card reader is a Kingston FCR-HS219/1.
The 16GB SDHC card in the Kingston card reader combo works on my WinXP machine, so (apparently) the combo does work.

A 2GB SD card (FAT16) in the Kingston reader works on both WinXP and the HPDV7 11.3 laptop.

Any suggestions as to what to look for and where?

Did you try formatting it to NTFS?

Hi
More than likely the card reader driver for linux. I have a SanDisk
reader that’s only good for up to 4GB ones, in a 8GB and I see
errors like yours. All cards work fine on my netbook SHDC internal
device.

Can you post the output for the device from;


lsusb -v

This is a camera card, I don’t believe it supports NTFS

Here is lsusb -v for the offending interface

So far in searching about, folks with this device problem (Ubuntu) gave up and acquired different hardware.

For additional information, I have a similar problem on my desktop 11.3 machine as well

The desktop has a add-on internal multi card reader from Rosewill, based on a Realtek device.

The 16GB card fails to be recognized in either the Kingston portable reader or the Rosewill reader.

What follows is the error stream in /var/log/messages for a Kingston attempt.

Since both hardware solutions are USB based, I assume that the failure mechanism is the same.

I happen to have the same Rosewil multi-reader in my WinXP machine. the 16GB card works OK there, both Rosewill and Kingston.

Based on what I researched, modules scsi_mod and usb_storage are the drivers involved; both are loaded.
