[solved] SD-card not recognized
-
Hi,
I have a problem getting my card reader to work on a foxconn nt-330i.
I tried the steps listed in this thread:
http://forum.slitaz.org/index.php/discussion/690/solved-sd-card-mmc-not-recognized
(I also tried to modprobe all modules provided by linux-mmc, but no success)
Slitaz seems to recognize the hardware ( a Genesys GL826-chip based onboard card-reader, fully compliant to usb 2.0 ), but does nothing when I insert a sd-card ( tried 3 different ones ):

When I boot ubuntu10.04-live, kernel 2.6.32 on the foxconn nt-330i the sd-card is recognized as mass storage. So I tried to compile a new slitaz kernel with the ubuntu kernel config. but no success as well.

Could this be a kernel issue anyhow or has anyone an idea why slitaz doesn't recognize the sd-cards. Does Slitaz somehow handle usb-storage in another way ubuntu does?
Any help would be very appreciated!

To answer your question, yes, SliTaz handels hardware differently than Ubuntu 10.04. Actually, one of the newest things about this year in Ubuntu, Fedora and the like is that totally did away with the use of HAL and is using udev and it's extentions to do the work HAL once did.
It's clear from the information your providing that it's detecting, but for some reason it's not showing up... Have you tried mount /dev/sdd from the terminal? My DVD-ROM gives me a similar issue and I have to forcefully mount it. But once that's done I can access it from the /media folder. I did have to mkdir the directory that mount was expecting in /media though. -
Forcibly mount the sd-card didn't work:
mount /dev/sdb/ /media/sd
mount: mounting /dev/sdb on /media/sd failed: No medium found
It looks like hald and udevd are running
ps | grep hal | grep sdb && ps | grep udev
2217 root hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/sdb (every 2 sec)
750 root /sbin/udevd --daemon
2429 root /sbin/udevd --daemon
2430 root /sbin/udevd --daemon
13971 root grep udev
Could it help switching fom hald-addon-storage to something like udev-addon-storage ?

Did you install linux-mmc.tazpkg and modprobe:
/lib/modules/2.6.30.6-slitaz/kernel/drivers/mmc/card/mmc_block.ko.gz
/lib/modules/2.6.30.6-slitaz/kernel/drivers/mmc/card/sdio_uart.ko.gz
/lib/modules/2.6.30.6-slitaz/kernel/drivers/mmc/core/mmc_core.ko.gz
/lib/modules/2.6.30.6-slitaz/kernel/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-pci.ko.gz
/lib/modules/2.6.30.6-slitaz/kernel/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.ko.gz
If this works add to /etc/rcS.conf LOAD_MODULES=
If you still can't read/write the card:
Post output with sd card in reader:root@slitaz: fdisk -l
root@slitaz: lsmod
-
Hmmm, when I tried mount /dev/dvd the first time, it gave me a similar error. I just su to root and mkdir /media/dvd/ to make it work. Maybe you need to try mkdir /media/sd/ as root and see if that helps force mounting to work.
As for the full udev support, you've given me an idea and maybe I can partially use the same system Ubuntu is using right now. It will either break my system or provide a good fix. So I'll keep you guys up to date how badly I'll end up breaking my system by trying this... :P -
I tried installing linux-mmc and modprobing all modules, but no success. The card-reader seems to appear as usb-mass-storage, it is recognized as scsi-device sdb ( see dmesg of 1st post )
fdisk -l has no output.

I wonder if there's a way to tell hald or udevd that ther's a sd-card (/dev/sdb1) present. -
@Trixar_za
mounting to /media/sd has no effect.
Do you think it is possible via udev-rules to get the sd-card work? ( the idea was to use the nettop without harddisk but a flash for booting a tazusb iso )
Anyway full udev support sounds good, at least better than breaking the system does ;)

looking at your dmesg output it seems that you have a problem with partitions or filesystem instead of card reader.
i can't see mmc_block in your lsmod output, may youmodprobe mmc_block
, check if it works, and if it does not work post the output oftail /var/log/messages
?
are you on 3.0? -
i tried modprobing mmc_block but it did'nt help. the problem is that my card reader is detected as generic-storage scsi device sdb, but unlike the usb-stick sda no hardware sectors / partitions etc. are found

I have a card reader that reproduce a similar behavior.
In my case i think that the problem resides in the output of this command:zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN
As you can see multilun support is disabled in default Slitaz kernel, so if your card reader, like mine, is a multicard reader (it surely is scsi), it probably see only the first lun. E.g. mine reads only CF and not sd.
http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/SCSI_MULTI_LUN.html
http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~ggbaker/personal/cf-linux
I have just a liveusb system and no time now to recompile the kernel withCONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN=y
but i would bet that this would solve your problem, and from another post i know that you know how to recompile a kernel, so if you want to give it a try and let me know ... ;-)

"As you can see multilun support is disabled in default Slitaz kernel, so
if your card reader, like mine, is a multicard reader (it surely is
scsi), it probably see only the first lun."
Would that prevent slitaz from using a modem on a sound card and would enabling multilun in the slitaz kernel fix it?
Thank you
