Hi,
I have a Centrino Duo notebook which has an embedded card reader (for memory sticks, SD cards, XD cards, etc.). No card inserted in the reader is detected by Fedora. I was hoping that the new F7 kernel would support it, but the reader is still dead after the upgrade. lspci shows: (...) 05:03.1 Generic system peripheral [0805]: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter (rev 19) 05:03.2 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd Unknown device 0843 (rev 01) 05:03.3 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C592 Memory Stick Bus Host Adapter (rev 0a) 05:03.4 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev 05)
That is the exact same device in my laptop and it works great. I have tried 1GB 2GB and 4GB regular SD cards. I have NOT tried 8GB SDHC cards.
What card are you trying?
The driver in question is: mmc, which includes mmc_core and mmc_block. Do the drivers load for you?
Plug in a SD card and:
# lsmod | grep mmc
and
dmesg | tail
You should see something like this from dmesg:
mmcblk0: mmc0:1234 SD04G 4018176KiB mmcblk0: p1
Good luck!
If the driver is loaded then you might find this a help from a previous post. I have copied and paste
This is determined by /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/99-redhat-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi. You can either edit it or just move it out of that location and auto mounting would work.
It has been done as a security measure but policy kit in Fedora 8 should make this much more usable. There is a recent discussion in fedora-devel list about this FYI.
