Hi,

I have a PCI Express card with VIA VL800 chipset which seems to work OK
with a Seagate drive, so I presume the interface is working.

If I boot with a SanDisk ImageMate S11202 plugged into the USB 3.0 card,
the display shows messages about the SanDisk device, appears to properly
identify it, and with like 'querying ...' slots on the card reader, which
all fail - (there are no cards in the reader). Then the machine sails into
outerspace, kind of just sits there until (perhaps) the end of time, or
until I kill the power. It never gets the network interface up, so no ssh.

It would be great to be able to paste the log here but when I reboot there
is nothing about the activity in the log, it's like the entire boot process
never happened.

Anyone have any experience with this card reader? I appreciate any
suggestions or tips.

Below is pertinent system information.

Thank you,

After experimenting a bit,

A follow up, when I plug the device in after booting it's no problem.
nothing bad happens.

when i do a shutdown now, it takes 9:51-9:57 about 6 minutes to disappear
from ping and shut down, then it finally comes back up 10:12, so 15
minutes.

So reboot = 21 minutes.

While it's not the end of time scenario, something is hanging up this
machine on boot up and shutdown, with that device...

If anyone has a pointer or suggestion I totally appreciate it! definitely
need this machine to boot/shutdown much faster!

Thank you,



I did google lookup on SanDisk uSD SDDR-289, this is a external 4 slot sd card reader that is usb 3 ready and usb 2 compatible.

If I understand your post above correctly you can boot your Freebsd system from internal disk or from external usb disk with this external sd card reader plugged in but empty of sd memory cards.

The problem is you want to boot off of a sd memory card you have plugged into the external sd card reader. And when you do it takes for ever to boot up.

When you plug in your sd memory card, Freebsd reads this info from it.
<SanDisk uSD SDDR-289 1.00> If I remember correctly the 1.00 is the usb standard that card was designed to work with.

Since your external 4 slot sd card reader is usb3 ready and usb2 compatible and the sd memory card is usb1 ready, this may be causing some internal time-out delay condition.

Recommend you purchase a sd memory card that is usb3 ready and test again.

Another test I would do is boot off of a usb2 or usb3 memory stick
while leaving the external 4 slot sd card reader plugged in but empty
of sd memory cards. Try booting the usb memory stick from your PCI Express card that adds usb3 hardware support and also try booting it from the motherboard usb sockets. Also try the above with the external 4 slot sd card reader unplugged.

Good luck.
