This device: http://www.ppa-usa.com/product_pages/cardreaders/2438.htm
was just purchased by /me at Fry's. Seemed like a good deal at the time, but I can't get it to work in Etch. I''m using kernel 2.6.12-1-K7 ATM. According to dmesg, it seems to recognize both the fact that the usb reader is plugged in (which is a good sign) and when I plug in the memory card into the slot (I have a Sandisk 1.0 GB Secure Digital card) if I "tail -f /var/log/messages" I see that it's registering a new device, but it still can't read the card's contents. I'm getting messages like Jun 3 18:49:00 m206-157 kernel: SCSI error : <2 0 0 3> return code = 0x10070000 Jun 3 18:49:00 m206-157 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 0 Jun 3 18:49:00 m206-157 kernel: SCSI error : <2 0 0 3> return code = 0x10070000 Jun 3 18:49:00 m206-157 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 0 Jun 3 18:49:00 m206-157 kernel: SCSI error : <2 0 0 3> return code = 0x10070000 Jun 3 18:49:00 m206-157 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 0 Jun 3 18:49:00 m206-157 kernel: SCSI error : <2 0 0 3> return code = 0x10070000 Jun 3 18:49:00 m206-157 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 0 Jun 3 18:49:00 m206-157 kernel: SCSI error : <2 0 0 3> return code = 0x10070000 Jun 3 18:49:00 m206-157 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 0 Any ideas? I tested it with an (older) edition of Simply Mepis (running kernel 2.6.10) still doesn't recognize the card, or won't read from it. Over there, it'll report the "disk" as /dev/sda, rather than /dev/sdd. I thought /dev/sda1 was the preferred device, right? Forgive me, I am new at this stuff. I'm about to boott a latest knoppix to see if that will work. Also I'll send an email to the product manufacturer to see if their card reader supports Sandisk cards. That *should* be doable, because this reader supports a wide variety of USB card devices. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
