[gentoo-user] usb media reader

[James]

Hello,

lsusb shows:
Bus 001 Device 035: ID 05e3:0710 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB 2.0 33-in-1 Card Reader

OK, so I plug in a CF card and run fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sdb: 4110 MB, 4110188544 bytes
128 heads, 63 sectors/track, 995 cylinders, total 8027712 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1   *          63      201599      100768+  83  Linux
/dev/sdb2          201600      709631      254016   82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sdb3          709632     8023679     3657024   83  Linux


Very nice....

Now I remove the CF card an put in a SD card.
Tried several SD cards.
Nothing.....

Knotify (I guess) pops up just fine with CF.
SD... nothing.

SD is another kernel module. There are different categories for SD and
Memory Stick drivers in the kernel config. Look in the Device Drivers
section.

I have a USB-media reader and only need the USB-storage drivers.
Never did figure out what the SD-drivers are really for.

Are you certain the USB-reader can actually handle the SD-cards? Especially 
the newer "High Capacity" ones can be a bit tricky as not all readers can 
handle those.

Did you also try an "older" SD-card of "small" capacity, like 512MB?

a few days.... for other reasons...

If you're just adding more modules you dont need to reboot, just make
modules && make modules_install, then modprobe <modulename>.
