Slitaz can't find my sd card reader, it's the old type that slides into the side of your laptop and you put your sd card into it, it is NOT USB. I also have cf card reader that it can't read. Any help would be great. Thanks
i can't see anything wrong. try modprobe pcmcia and modprobe ds. if it does not work could your reboot with the sd card in and post the output of dmesg or something relevant to CardBus bridge Texas Instruments PCI1250 in /var/log/messages?
With SD reader plugged in use lspcmcia and pccardctl status , pccardctl ident, pccardctl info ,pccardctl eject ,pccardctl insert commands. Give us whatever info you can from above commands or applicable errors from /var/log/messages
A google search of manfid: 0x4e01, 0x0200 indicates it's a lexar or conceptronic card reader which requires the ide-cs driver.
root@slitaz: modprobe ide-cs
Look at dmesg after you modprobe, it may indicate the device name. Stick a card into the reader with files. Try fdisk -l as root to see device name. You have to mount the device in terminal just as you would a partition.
root@slitaz: mount /dev/device.name /mount.folder/
modprobe ide-cs worked I placed it in the rcS.conf file under LOAD_MODULES The only problem I had is sometimes when removing and reinserting the card it could not find it, it always happened when inserting a different card. So I wrote a little .sh script that would eject and insert pccardctl then modprobe ide-cs, I also had it restart my wireless card as it would become disconnected with the eject command, I could not figure out how to get it to only eject one socket.
mojo and ernia thanks for all your help. I have only been playing with linux for a month (only with Slitaz) so your info has helped ease the pain. I am a mechanic by trade so I know what's like have customers and other mechanics probe you for info.
Anyone who is successful in a trade that involves troubleshooting and repair of electro mechanical devices will love linux. The reason being that you find it rewarding to figure out how things work,what's wrong, and how to fix it. In addition you have realistic expectations, and don't give up easily.
See if
root@slitaz: pccardctl eject 1
will work so the built in wireless in socket 0 is not ejected.
Yes mojo that worked. I tried it before but I was not root, the strange thing was it didn't show me any errors so I thought it wasnt working. Also it didn't give me the option when entering pccardctl -v. I'll change my .sh script. Thanks again
