[gentoo-user] udev rules

[David Relson]

Good morning!

I have a Rosewill 75 in 1 card reader with slots for USB, SATA, SD,
microSD, etc.  udev recognizes USB devices and mounts them
as /media/<whatever>.  

However, when SD and microSD cards are inserted, /var/log/messages
doesn't report anything and the cards aren't mounted.

Any suggestions where to look? what to fix?

I'm running kernel 3.2.11 on an AMD64 with udev-171.

Here's a link to the card reader

Regards,

David

Have you tried those cards on a different system to see if they work? 
If they do, then the reader may be bad.  May want to look for dust but
if it is new, surely not.  ;-)  Packing peanut maybe?  o_O

I have bought a couple thinks made by Rosewill.  Neither of them worked
for long.  I sent one back for repair/replacement and got a new one with
about the same problem.  I didn't send it back again because it wasn't
worth shipping back again plus I was expecting it to work at least for a
little while.  It lasted overnight  My new policy, don't buy Rosewill
products.  They may work fine for someone else but they don't for me.

Actually what I've got is a SanDisk 16GB microSD with an SD adapter.
Using my wife's windoze laptop, the SD/microSD combo works fine.

My initial use of the card is for Ubuntu linux for a MK802+ mini-pc.
The MK802+ boots Android off its internal storage or Ubuntu off of the
microSD.  So, yes, the card appears to work.

Have you enabled the necessary drivers in your kernel?

Boot off a live CD that detects the USB controller and your MicroSD drive and 
then check what kernel drivers are being used.  When you boot back into Gentoo 
you can enable the same and roll a new kernel.

I've just replaced my internal card reader had had a similar experience.
It turned out I'd forgotten to connect the power connector. The USB ports
work on a pass-through, so they were unaffected, but the cards appear to
connect to an internal powered hub, which wasn't powered.
