No device created for SD Card on insertion

[Guest]

Hi all,

I am running Kubuntu 8.04 on a Dell D630, and purchased a Sony VGP-MCA10 5-in-1 PCMCIA memory card reader. When I insert an SD card into it, the system recognizes the card, but does not create a device for it:

[ 1350.885718] pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
[ 1350.887011] pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0
[ 1350.928134] scsi7 : pata_pcmcia
[ 1350.928214] ata6: PATA max PIO0 cmd 0x100 ctl 0x10e irq 19

This is the output of pccardctl status:

[ 1350.885718] pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
[ 1350.887011] pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0
[ 1350.928134] scsi7 : pata_pcmcia
[ 1350.928214] ata6: PATA max PIO0 cmd 0x100 ctl 0x10e irq 19

lspci shows the cardbus:

03:01.0 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc. Cardbus bridge (rev 21)

And there are modules loaded for the bus:

pata_pcmcia      18176 1
pcmcia         45976 1 pata_pcmcia
...
yenta_socket      30092 3
rsrc_nonstatic     14080 1 yenta_socket
pcmcia_core      46116 4 pata_pcmcia,pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic

I can provide more information if needed. Can anyone help? Thank you!

Re: No device created for SD Card on insertion

OK! I have an update. It turns out that there is something wrong with that SD card, so I tested another, and got this:

[ 569.867791] pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
[ 569.869129] pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0

Does anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks!
