SD card slot not recognised Opensuse 12.2

English Hardware
1

Hi,

I have never used the SD card slot on my Dell Studio XPS 1640 before. But today I needed to format my SD card to install a new ROM for my Android phone.

I realised that there are no drivers for the SD card reader. Can someone help me with installation of drivers?

Here is the code of /sbin/lspci -nnk

I think they are connected to the USB.

If I am correct, your Dell XPS is a laptop, yes?

On my HP DV7 Laptop, the Card reader is on the pci bus.

Isn’t this pci peripheral (last on list) likely the Card reader?

How big is your SD Card.

What Kernel are you running?

I have a long outstanding bug for reading 16GB Patriot SD Cards on USB readers, but in fact reads fine on my pci connected laptop.

Try a small (4GB or less) SD card on your Dell, to see if it works.

4

AFAICS the device is recognized. How are you attempting to format it?

5

According to your output driver is already loaded, it is sdhci-pci. I also have Dell notebook, and

   18.807938] sdhci-pci 0000:03:01.1: SDHCI controller found [1180:0822] (rev 22)
   18.812069] mmc0: SDHCI controller on PCI [0000:03:01.1] using DMA

What exactly does not work?

Hi,

Sorry for my delayed response.

I have a Samsung 8GB micro SD card and I am using it in a Micro SD to SD converter and inserting into my system’s SD card slot.

Thing is, I dont see it in Dolphin. I dont want to format it, just want to erase everything on it.

I have the same problem.
Lenovo Thinkpad W520, Ricoh Co Ltd MMC/SD Host Controller.

**It doesn’t show in dolphin. **>:( Inserting card does nothing.
I tried latest 3.4.x kernel and 3.6.x and it doesn’t work.

I used it some months ago, so maybe it’s a kernel problem, somewhere around 3.4.x got this broken??

8

i add to previous post, dmesg

 2896.381278] mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card

ignore that. that sd card doesn’t work under windows too. so it’s not opensuse fault.

opensuse fault.

Hi
It may be a udisks issue. Can you run the following command (as root
user) in a terminal and see if you get output when the sd card is
plugged in;


udevadm monitor

Do you also see anything in the output from dmesg.
