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.
