Description Georges A.K. 2005-11-02 22:49:37 UTC

My system is a laptop (acer ferrari 3000) which has a builtin 4-1 card reader. It used to work just fine with SuSE 9.3. However, I upgraded to 10.0 and now, it doesn't work anymore. Whenever I insert my SD card, the orange light lights up for quite some time (which is not normal) and then nothing is mounted. I get this error in dmesg :

Anyone got an idea ?

Ick, that's not good.  if you unload the usb host controller, and then load it again with:
   rmmod uhci-hcd
   modprobe uhci-hcd

does that help?

Also, can you attach the output of /proc/bus/usb/devices with the uhci-hcd module loaded?

Output of /proc/bus/usb/devices

Here's the output of /proc/bus/usb/devices

Comment 3 Georges A.K. 2005-11-16 01:29:04 UTC

Thanx for tackling this bug, it's really killing me !

I tried unloading and reloading and no good. Here's a couple of other interesting things :
- I experience the same problem with kubuntu (2.6.12)
- I have another SD reader, this one is external(USB). It doesn't work either, but I get another output. I'm not sure if it's another bug or if they're related. Anyhow, I'll attach the output, maybe it could be of any help.

Thanx,
Georges.

Output of dmesg when external reader is inserted

Here's the relevant dmesg output when I insert my USB card reader. You'll see that the output is different but the result is the same (not working). If the 2 are not related, tell me so, so I can file a new bug for this one.

Thanx,
Georges.

Comment 5 Georges A.K. 2005-12-14 05:16:23 UTC

Ok, I tried TWO other cards readers (USB this time) and both still fail. It's a different error which I'll attach (not sure if it's related, if not I'll open a new bug).

dmesg output with second USB card reader

Comment 7 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2005-12-14 06:53:47 UTC

It looks like something is wrong with the media you are putting into the readers.

Does it work on other machines?

Comment 8 Georges A.K. 2005-12-14 07:11:25 UTC

Well, it works on all windows machines I try in it. It also works on SuSE 9.3 and KUbuntu. I think it has something to do with kernel version as 2.6.13 and up gives me errors.

Comment 9 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2006-04-12 16:28:36 UTC

Does the 10.1 beta 9 work properly with this device?

Comment 10 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2006-04-27 22:49:07 UTC

Am closing due to delay in response.

If you do get a chance to test out 10.1 (please test RC3 or so), and it is
still a problem, please reopen this bug with the new information.
