How to make working 9 in 1 memory card reader ?
Hi, I have a 9 in 1 card but I don't know how to use it : are there package / module I have to install / load ?? Or what 'mount' command have I to enter ?
Here is my lspci : Code:
lspci Any help is welcome |
Memory cards use SCSI emulation (though 2.6 also has the new usb block device).
If you don't have SCSI support, you'll need to recompile. You need scsi disk and usb-storage support. You will also need the "Probe all LUNs" option selected. Even if you have scsi support already, that option may not be selected. If it isn't, you'll need to recompile. Alternatively, if you are using 2.6 you could try the usb block device module which is incompatible with usb-storage, so it's one or the other. |
Thanks for your answer.
I suppose I already have SCSI support since my HD is recognize in /dev/sda. I think I have the "Probe all LUNs" option selected (I have done a 'make xconfig' in the sources of my kernel and this option is selected : is that the right way to see if the option is selected ??). How to see if 'usb-storage' is on my system (I am a newbie : is that an option for the kernel too or a module ?) ? I suppose I have USB support because I can use some usb devices (e.g. wifi via usb-device). I can make 'modprobe usb-storage' (this module is not loaded by default). The result of lsmod | grep usb is then : Code:
lsmod | grep usb Additional info : when I insert a memory card, no led is lit : nothing happened. I am on Fedora 4 with a 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 kernel. |
Been offline for a few days, have you resolved this yet?
Your configuration looks OK. Do a Code:
cat /proc/scsi/scsi Assuming that this shows usb-storage is loaded and working, then you should be able to access memory cards just like a hard drive, e.g. fdisk -l /dev/sdX and so on. dmesg should tell you the correct device. |
Hi,
I have finally find the answer in the French forum of Packard Bell. The solution was to reinitialize the power (cfr link) by pushing the on/off button for ~30 sec while the computer is unplugged. Strange but after that it was working fine. Thanks for your answers. |
