I can't seem to get the OS to recognize my SD card when inserted into my USB card reader. Mepis 6 Beta 3 has no problem with it. DMESG sees nothing happening when the card is inserted. USB-STORAGE module is loaded.

its possible that the card reader is not supported by the CentOS kernel.

Hmmm...perhaps I'll just have to build my own then.

All I know for now is that it's a Foxconn internal 15-in-1 memory card reader.

does not look supported. try a 'lspci -n' and a 'lspci -v' and check what version of the kernel it was first included.

I'm not sure what to look for here. Can you be more detailed in what I'm supposed to look for when I use those commands?

It looks like even if it *was* supported, I might not be able to use it with my SD card. This is because the config for CentOS Plus kernels disables
"Probe all LUNs on each SCSI device"
From what I've read, this is needed for multi-card readers.

This won't solve your problem but I have the same thing. The 2 workarounds I use are: 1. Use my camera's USB cable directly 2. Dual boot FC4 on the box I have set up with Win2K for great-grandkids. The card reader works fine in FC4.

This is a built-in reader than hooks to the USB card internally.

I can boot to either Mepis or Arch to do this. I was hoping that CentOS could do it.

Hi all folks,
It's strange for me too, i have the same issue on the card reader except than i have two different photo cam and i'm able to read the CF card (i.e. Kingston Compact Flash CF 512) but not the SD one's (i.e. PNY 256 MB SD) in the same card reader. No dmesg info about it and no log reacts when the SD is inserted.
Here is the info i can provide btw, feel free to suggest me for more:

It is only using LUN 0. See my previous post with a link on how to scan more LUNs, and I bet your other media "slots" will show up.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the hints,
I think you meant the link pointing to: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=11193&topic_id...
I did it mainly putting it as option in /boot/grub/grub.conf as you can see:
[root@sparkbox log]# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf | grep lun kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-34.ELsmp ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 selinux=0 vga=0x031a max_luns=32 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-34.EL ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 selinux=0 vga=0x031a max_luns=32
Rebooted and the same as previously noted.
Could be something related to hald/hotplug? Should i increase the max_luns value?
It's a usb card reader as you can see:
[root@sparkbox log]# lsusb | grep TEAC Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0644:0200 TEAC Corp.
I have to say that i have another host with the same problem with a different card reader.
Thanks again for your hints,
Jose.

Hi again,
For the corresponding SD card (slot "SD/mini MMC/RS") i have not kernel messages (dmesg), it's not reacting upon insertion. It's true that the LED light is "on" once inserted, no false electronic contact assumed and not flashing as expected like CF card on detecting/mounting stage. I also use that SD card (and others) on a Nikon digital camera and in a Palm TT3) without problems, but not working at the momment in the actual card reader neither in the other card reader in different host (it's not a TEAC mode but results are the same).
The following is for a COMPACT FLASH card in the same card reader (slot "CF/MD") and it is working as expected (led's on, flashing when aoutomounted):
dmesg output: -------------------- SCSI device sdc: 250368 512-byte hdwr sectors (128 MB) sdc: Write Protect is off sdc: Mode Sense: 23 00 00 00 sdc: assuming drive cache: write through SCSI device sdc: 250368 512-byte hdwr sectors (128 MB) sdc: Write Protect is off sdc: Mode Sense: 23 00 00 00 sdc: assuming drive cache: write through sdc: sdc1 --------------------
syslog output: May 20 16:46:07 sparkbox kernel: SCSI device sdc: 250368 512-byte hdwr sectors (128 MB) May 20 16:46:07 sparkbox kernel: sdc: Write Protect is off May 20 16:46:07 sparkbox kernel: sdc: assuming drive cache: write through May 20 16:46:07 sparkbox kernel: SCSI device sdc: 250368 512-byte hdwr sectors (128 MB) May 20 16:46:07 sparkbox kernel: sdc: Write Protect is off May 20 16:46:07 sparkbox kernel: sdc: assuming drive cache: write through May 20 16:46:07 sparkbox kernel: sdc: sdc1 May 20 16:46:08 sparkbox fstab-sync[6500]: added mount point /media/usbdisk for /dev/sdc1 <...when unmounted> May 20 16:47:49 sparkbox fstab-sync[7260]: removed mount point /media/usbdisk for /dev/sdc1 --------------
It's strange because only the SD slot/card is affected and not all the card reader types (well only i tried with CF/MD) and the card reader is detected by the kernel as previously noted with the TEAC brand.
Further info, it's a Dell Dimension 3100 with corresponding card reader. The other host has a different card reader but the same card formats, and also failed with SD cards.
Thank again for hints folks
Cheers Matt
Jose.
