[gentoo-user] Getting Cardreader running on Asus F3SC

[Marco]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get my SD-card reader running on my Asus F3SC notebook.
http://www.linlap.com/wiki/asus+f3sc tells me that I have to load
modules sdhci and mmc_core.

~# modprobe mmc_core
~# modprobe sdhci
~# lsmod | grep mmc_core
mmc_core               34496  1 sdhci
~# lsmod | grep sdhci
sdhci                  15364  0
mmc_core               34496  1 sdhci
~# tail -f /var/log/messages

I insert my SD card, but there is not device recognized in the log.

Any tips on what I'm doing wrong or what I'm missing?

Thanks!

Hi again,

I got my card reader running:

~# lspci
[...]
09:01.1 SD Host controller: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro
Host Adapter (rev 22)
09:01.2 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C843 MMC Host Controller (rev 12)
09:01.3 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C592 Memory Stick Bus Host
Adapter (rev 12)
09:01.4 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev ff)
[...]

Then I had to recompile my kernel:
~# cd /usr/src/linux
~# diff .config.old .config
2647c2647,2648
< # CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_PCI is not set
---
> CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_PCI=m
> CONFIG_MMC_RICOH_MMC=m

Rebooting and the SD card appears as /dev/mmcblk0.
