I've got a USB memory card reader, and an SD card (128Mb). DSL is installed on the hard drive.
When I plug in the reader, I get in dmesg:
USB Mass Storage device found at 4
...
sda: Unit Not Ready, sense:
...
sda : READ CAPACITY failed
Then a bunch of I/O errors....
I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 0
I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 16
I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 8
I/O error: dev 08:00, sector 24
...
Doing a
mount /dev/sda /mnt/sda
gives me
mount: relocation error: mount: undefined symbol: blkid_known_fstype
I've also tried with -t vfat and -t msdos
On my WinXP box, it's a FAT format. I also tried it as Fat32.
Any thoughts?
I tried a USB thumb drive, which works, then I tried the memory card again, and I see the device come up as sdb in dmesg, but I can't seem to fdisk it.
I try:
sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
