I'm trying to get the built-in reader on my system working. It's one of those multi-slot ones on the front of the box. The card I have is specifically a "San Disk Memory Stick PRO Duo", this sucker here:

The light on the reader will light up, but there's zip in any of the kernel logs. I tried the obvious kmods to get it working - tifm_7xx1, tifm_sd, tifm_core, via_sdmmc, mmc_core, etc but no luck.
Nothing seems to be useful in lspci or lsusb:

It lists in procinfo as a block device, 179 mmc, but nothing in proc's partition file. Lots of people puzzling over it in search engines (
http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopi...=29242&start=0 ) but no solid answers. I don't even get the "tifm_core: MemoryStick card detected in socket " message. The system is a new HP Pavilion Elite Phenome II quad-core with a lot of new, Linux-unfriendly hardware that's been a nightmare to setup. My guess is, if possible to get this reader working at all, I'm maybe missing some kernel support in the way of a module I should've included in the kernel build (config:
ftp://atr2.ath.cx/pub/file_hosting/c....phn.config.gz ) but didn't. I've seen the card working in a camera (there's pictures on it, likely FAT filesystem) so I know it's a good card.
