SD card (reader) not detected on Open Suse 12.1 (Lenovo Ideapad Z370)
 

hello,
i have a problem with my sd cards / card reader on my new open suse 12.1 installation. As i'm new to suse (and therefore, new to hw problems, since i used ubuntu before ^^), i'm not sure whether the card reader or sd cards are not detected or auto mount doesn't work.

i couldn't identify any information about it in yast, /dev/, lspci or lsusb.
the only hint is from dmesg, when i insert and remove the sd card. if you have any help or advice to get my sd cards working, i would be glad!

Thanks in advance,
Sema

p.s. is there any special possibility to format code snippets in a post?

Do you have autofs installed and enabled?

Once you have inserted the device try mounting a few of the /dev/sd[a-f] devices. This is often where USB flash drives and cards will turn up.

thanks for reply.

is installed, but disabled (nevertheless usb drives are mounted automatically)
after enabling, nothing changed (same behavior as described above)

sebastian@linux-je8s:~> ll /dev/sd*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Dec 13 05:12 /dev/sda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 Dec 13 05:12 /dev/sda1

sda is my hard disk drive
inserting a usb drive shows
