Memorycard reader doesn't work with 1Gb memory cards
Hi,
I have Memory Card Reader that came with Nokia 6681 mobile phone. Yesterday I bought an 1Gb memory card and it worked fine with Windows. When I try to use memory card reader with Linux, I get an error that /dev/sda1 doesn't exist. When I try to use same card reader with 64Mb memory card, it works fine but it doesn't work if I use 1Gb memory card. With Windows 1Gb memory card & 64Mb memory card work both fine but with Linux only 64Mb memory card works. What's wrong? |
Just a guess but it could be a format issue. Try formatting it in the phone or some non-windows device.

I formatted memory card in phone but it didn't help. :/
When I plug memory card reader to usb in Linux, dmesg says that system has created device for it... When I plug memory card reader with 64Mb memory card it creates /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 but when I plug memory card reader with 1Gb card it only creates /dev/sda but NOT /dev/sda1... that's why I can't mount memory card reader with 1Gb card. :( |
On my system when I mount a usb drive it just creates /dev/sda so creating two seems a little odd.
Ok, we need lots of information: motherboard and bios version, destro, kernel revision, 32/64 bit OS, usb1.0/1.1/2.0, dmesg after trying to mount 1g, and probably more just cannot think of what right now. lazlow |
Motherboard is EPOX 8RDA3+. Distro is Gentoo, kernel is 2.6.16-gentoo-r9. OS is 32bit.
Here's dmesg: Code:
ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.0: wakeup |
It seems that this is format issue.. I checked partitions with fdisk and from 64Mb memory card fdisk seems to find FAT16 partition but from 1Gb disk fdisk cannot find partition at all. :/ Anyway 1Gb card works with Windows and phone.. What should I do now?
