MMC/SD card reader help

[pajamabama]

I can't seem to get my media card reader to work. I wonder if anyone can help?

from lspci this is my card reader:

note that 'mmc_core' & 'sdhci' are loaded.

from the gentoo-wiki a quote addressing this device says

Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 MMC / SD Card reader

A driver for the MMC / SD card reader has been in the kernel since 2.6.18 (sdhci). Both SD and MMC cards work .

and I've read in several places that there should be a /dev/mmc[something-or-other] or /dev/sdX device to mount. There is not.

I'm not sure what I'm missing here, but I don't know how to mound the XD card I've got in there. This type of card should work right? It does work in vista, so I know it's not the hardware.

thanks in advance.

Code: Select all

modprobe sdhci && modprobe mmc_block && modprobe mmc_core

thanks, mmc_block is now loaded, and using mmc_core, but i'm still not sure how to mount the volume. Do you expect that it should automount at that point?

ps. Thanks for all your great work with SL! I'm getting 3.4 right now.

no idea without looking at your dmesg, have a try if it's not mounted look on dmesg for the name of the mount point
