[gentoo-user] sdhc card on eeepc701 running gentoo

Hello,

I'm having lots of hardware error current when trying to use a sdhc card
(transcend 16GB) on my eeepc701. I have never used any card on gentoo
before, but I have used with success previously in Ubuntu.

Is there some know bug?

Also, only sometimes I get a device at /dev/sdb and couldn't get any
/dev/sdb1 to show, but I do see it using fdisk /dev/sdb and them pressing p.

Could be a dying card. Try imaging it on another machine?

I have a USB card reader that only worked if I issued "hdparm -z
/dev/sdX", for some reason the device only worked after the second
time it was initialized. I don't know if you're using USB or MMC
interface for your card reader but maybe you can try it.

I have another device that used the MMC driver, it didn't work
properly with fast cards (above class 4) -- massive corruption every
time -- the "fix" was to hardcode the DTO value of 0xA in the mmc
driver (instead of dynamic calculation), after that it worked fine...

it is a 16GB class 10 Transcend, but the eeepc uses a usb card reader
inside of it - no mmc I think.

Actually, the first thing I tried to do with it was to format to ext2, and
then the formating proccess frozed in the middle of it.. I've tried to load
it in a windows pc after but couldn't read, and when I tried to format,
everything frozed - but it was a public computer, so I don't know if it
ever had a working card reader.

I've booted ubuntu in the eeepc now, and the card is shown in /dev/sdc1,
but I can't edit it using disk utility - it gives me error calling
fsync(2), on:/dev/sdc: input/output error. But on ubuntu I don't see no
dmesg error msgs like the ones I see on gentoo just by plugin it on the
port.

Is there any disk error checking utility in gentoo or ubuntu?

This may help.  smartmontools  I'm not sure what sort of testing can be 
done on those if any.

one thing I don't get is why I can see /dev/sdb1 when I type fdisk and
press p, but that isn't listed when I type ls /dev/sd*

one thing I noted, is that I'm having buffer i/o error on logical block
3939582. Is it possible to at least use the position before this?

I had sort of the same problem with a hard drive a few weeks ago.  I got 
the data off and a day or so later, it died.  If it was me, I wouldn't 
trust it with any data where there is no copies somewhere else.  It has 
problems, I would replace it.  Since it is under warranty, just get them 
to replace it.  Maybe the new one will be better.

Hello,

I would guess  the internal reader don't work properly for such modern cards.
Especially for the 701 there exist some reports about similar problems.
You may try on another (external) sd-card-reader which is specified for class 10  cards.

You are correct, the internal card reader was the problem, I tried today in
a Dell Vostro running ubuntu, and everything worked nice, even tried in
another Dell laptop with windows, and the card was recognized as well. It
seems the problem is indeed my hardware, so I'm buying a usb card reader to
shove it inside the eeepc to finally gain 16GB that I'm needing to do some
more interesting stuff in it.
