After some hours of testing, I think tah the problem is related to udev. When I start one terminal I type:
sudo udevmonitor and in the second one: sudo modprobe mmc_block sudo modprobe mmc_core sudo rmmod sdhci then udevmonitor says: UDEV [1193066226.837458] remove /class/mmc_host/mmc0 (mmc_host) UDEV [1193066226.837487] remove /bus/pci/drivers/sdhci (drivers) UDEV [1193066226.837500] remove /module/sdhci (module) Next I try to: sudo modprobe sdhci and udevmonitor says: UDEV [1193066281.343161] add /module/sdhci (module) UDEV [1193066281.343189] add /bus/pci/drivers/sdhci (drivers) UDEV [1193066281.343201] add /class/mmc_host/mmc0 (mmc_host) Nothing special. Now let's try to restart udev typing: sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart Udevmonitor produces a lot of output about reenabling some devices. Again, nothing special. Now let's try to remove sdhci: sudo rmmod sdhci and insert it again: sudo modprobe sdhci And after some sdhci insertions/removals, suprisingly, udevmonitor says: UEVENT[1193067609.739142] add /module/sdhci (module) UDEV [1193067609.740053] add /module/sdhci (module) UEVENT[1193067609.741298] add /bus/pci/drivers/sdhci (drivers) UDEV [1193067609.742317] add /bus/pci/drivers/sdhci (drivers) UEVENT[1193067609.743938] add /class/mmc_host/mmc0 (mmc_host) UDEV [1193067609.746477] add /class/mmc_host/mmc0 (mmc_host) UEVENT[1193067609.841820] add /class/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:1234 (mmc) UEVENT[1193067609.844307] add /block/mmcblk0 (block) UEVENT[1193067609.844330] add /block/mmcblk0/mmcblk0p1 (block) UDEV [1193067609.853536] add /class/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:1234 (mmc) UDEV [1193067609.943687] add /block/mmcblk0 (block) UDEV [1193067610.006325] add /block/mmcblk0/mmcblk0p1 (block) Voilà. The SD card is detected and Nautilus asks for importing photos. Unfortunately, this process in unrepeatable :( Even the number of lines generated by udevmonitor when inserting/removing sdhci is not the same. After several (hundreds) of sdhci insertions/removals you may be able to get your card recognized. Maybe this comment doesn't solve the problem but now, at least, I have some algorithm to get my card recognized. It may take a long time, but finally it works. -- [gutsy] [regression] (regression from edgy to feisty and to gutsy) tifm_sd module not working and not producing any message in logs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137686 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
