Compact flash


I think this is a kernel issue, but I thought I'd throw it out there for this forum

I have a multicard reader that works fine in ubuntu, yoper, windoze

I'm using Vector now since I like the speed and the simple interface.
However, I can't get the CF portion of the reader to work. The SD and Smartmedia readers work fine.

Here's the pertinent info:
Dmesg: Its a repeating message:
Code:
Raw sense data:0x70 0x00 0x02 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x0a 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x3a 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 
sdb : block size assumed to be 512 bytes, disk size 1GB.  
sdb: Write Protect is on
 sdb: I/O error: dev 08:10, sector 0
 I/O error: dev 08:10, sector 0
 unable to read partition table
sdb: Unit Not Ready, sense:
Current 00:00: sns = 70  2
ASC=3a ASCQ= 0
mount command:
Code:
root:# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb-storage -t vfat
mount: block device /dev/sdb1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: /dev/sdb1 is not a valid block device
Code:
root:# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices: 
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: ATA      Model: WDC WD2000JD-22H Rev: 08.0
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 05
Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor:          Model: USB Card Reader  Rev: 1.01
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 02
It doesn't show up under fdisk at all.

Again, the SD part works fine and the reader works fine in other distros?
Is there a solution without changing distro?

Could this be a usb-storage driver issue? How can I update it?

Perhaps try updating your kernel
