How to make the builtin Media Reader (Compact Flash (CF), Secure Digital (SD)) readers of the Emachines M6807 work on linux 2.6.7?
What program is needed to read and write to the SD and CF?

I have exactly the same problem. Running debian and whenever I put a card in it is not getting detected at all. Can't mount either...

Have searched the forums and also the net for a solution but no joy as yet. This is really frustrating as it is the last thing I need to gte working before I dump XP once and for all!

Does you get the DVD burner on Emachines M6807 Laptop working on either 32 bit or 64 bit AMD linux?
What program do you use? dvd+rw-tools?

Do you use DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R or DVD+RW disks?

The problem is solved.
There is no need for a program, you just need to mount the devices... Try /dev/sda1 or sdx# where x is the bus letter and # the logical asignation (or use lsusb to determine ) The only thing really needed is the USB mass storage driver compiled either as a module or into the kernel.

# cd /mnt/
# mkdir flash
# ls /mnt/
cdrom dos flash floppy
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash
# ls /mnt/flash
bin boot dev etc lib linuxrc lost+found proc root sbin start-ap.sh test.tar.gz tmp usr var
