SD-CARD (USB) not mounted Suse 11.2

English Hardware
1

Hi, since upgrade from SUSE11.1 I have been having problems with
SD-Card Not Mounting.

I have an internal card reader on the USB bus

From lsusb: Bus 001 Device 027: ID 0bda:0151 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Mass Storage Device

I upgraded to SuSE 11.2 in the hope that this would fix it but it was the same.

I have noticed that if I physically disconnect the card reader and reconnect it, then the card works perfectly once. If I then remove it without dismounting it the system seems to detect its removal but the light on the card reader stays on.

The Umount/eject button does not appear in the devices pop-up until I have used the pop-up to open the card in a program.
If I then close the program and use the eject button to umount the card it all works fine.

I therefore assume that there is a problem with the automatic unmount or in detecting stale mounts when trying to remount the card.

could it be that this is related to the post sd card on pci not recognised - openSUSE Forums

I expect that there must be logs somewhere but I have not found them in /var/log/

Any thoughts comments would be welcome.

THanks

we have 11.2 (gnome) running on a new box; and I got them to put a card reader in; it works fine; plugged in a 1G SD card just now; (from a camera): asks me if I want to open F-spot;imports the photos etc

are you using kde?

Since upgrading to the new kernel (Linux 2.6.31.8-0.1-desktop i686) I have started to get the same problem. Also all the files on the card appear as locked, although they are not.

I have the same problem with a Dell 1501. I upgraded from opensuse 10.3 where the internal SD/mmc card reader (a Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter (rev 19)) was working properly.

The card is not detected and even dmesg does not show any message when a card is inserted.

Trying to remove and load again the related kernel modules (sdhci, sdhci_pci, ricoh_mmc) what I get is:

Additionally, it looks like it is a time-out problem:

Well… right after posting I got the notification of the insertion, but still it doesn’t work.

Of course the card is ok, in windows on the same laptop it works perfectly.

Probably the issue is linked to the message:

hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #0. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj.

Again, anybody has a clue?

I found the issue. It is here:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=328087

But still no solution…:’(

reading the bugzilla thread I found:

Looks as if there was a BIOS (ACPI?) bug

This rang a bell…
In order to complete the installation I had to add the “acpi=off” to kernel options.
Without this option the laptop crashed at the startup of the x server.

Reading in this forum I found that this problem may be probably solved running the Sax tool. Indeed I managed to configure the x server while acpi was off, I can now start with the acpi on.

EUREKA, now the SD card recognition works perfectly.:slight_smile:
