This may be a case of operator error, but... I just received my "Syntax IC Card Reader - 7-in-1 external Card Reader"
when I plug the reader into a USB port, it shows via dmesg; hub.c: new USB device 00:10.2-1, assigned address 4 WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured USB Mass Storage device found at 4 and tail /var/log/messages shows; Apr 7 13:40:15 riverside kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:10.2-1, assigned address 4 Apr 7 13:40:19 riverside usb.agent[16088]: kernel driver usb-storage already loaded I insert my sda memory card, but not shows in dmesg or /var/log/messages doing a "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" show; Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: SAMSUNG Model: CD-ROM SC-152L Rev: C100 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: Memorex Model: 52MAXX 2452AJ Rev: 6WS2 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: IC Model: USB Storage-CFC Rev: 322E Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 my 2 cdrom/cd-writer, and the card reader.. Now, I'm "assuming" that the memory card will be sda/sda1, but nothings shows up telling for sure. If I attempt to run fsck or fdisk on /dev/sda I get the following error message(s); sudo fdisk /dev/sda1 Unable to open /dev/sda1 fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) e2fsck 1.35 (28-Feb-2004) fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sda Could this be a zero-length partition? Now I have no idea what else to try. This is for the memory chip on my Microtek S1 camera, recently reviewed on MozillaQuest Thanks -- Rodney D.
