I have a new computer with with an SSD internal drive, built in SD card reader, and USB expansion ports.

If I populate media in all slots and type "fdisk -l" I get a listing of the partitions for the external USB ports but fdisk doesn't report anything for the internal media. If I unplug the USB drives and type fdisk it just goes to the command line. If I type "df" it locates the partitions for the internal SSD drive but doesn't report anything for the media in the built in reader. If I type "mount" the same thing.

I've looked in /dev/ but I can't find anything that looks like something I can mount. I'd expect something like sda1 or something similar but it's not there. The contents of /media/ do report something called "card" but going there and typing "ls" doesn't get me any result. There is also an entry for "mmc1" but it too doesn't report anything.

any advice?

Does anything appear in dmesg when you put in an SD card? Put an SD card in the reader, then post the output of dmesg | tail here. (This gives the last 10 lines of the system log)

Hi,

Which distribution and kernel are you using?

Thanks for your responses. I've solved the problem. Namely, either my computer or myself is being a flake. It's located under the MMC1 in media. I swear I tried that multiple times but I just rebooted, used the mount command, and there it was mounted.

I have no idea (shakes head ruefully).
