Start with posting some info in this topic:

As root:
lspci | grep MMC

and this info:

lsmod

Yeah, Same prob here!! Kinda annoying isn't it :wink:

I was told in the last edition I needed to add something to the rules, but that it too big of a hassle and I don't understand that much about these "rules"

anyway lsmod

Ok try loading the tifm_sd kernel module.

as root type in terminal:

Code: Select all: modprobe tifm_sd

by **Darksurf** » Sat Jul 28, 2007 20:34

HOLY HELL!! it worked!!! automount pulled it right up!! Thanx Joost!!! Finally, I can use the cardreader for my sd cards... I was tired of having to connect my camera and use battery power just to access my sd cards.

Now that this is done with that module load up at everyboot?? Or is there something I need to do?

by **Dark_MaGe** » Sat Jul 28, 2007 22:20

add it to autoload list and you won't have any hassles

by **Darksurf** » Sun Jul 29, 2007 22:36

God, I'm gonna sound like a total n00b, but where is the autoload list?? Which one are we talking about? KDE has its own I know, but is there a another I should be adding it to?? I haven't added it to the KDE autoload yet, but I want to make sure this is the correct autoload file U were talking about..

by **joost** » Mon Jul 30, 2007 8:44

/etc/modules.autoload.d/

by **Darksurf** » Mon Jul 30, 2007 20:04
