I have a similar setup although judging by your USB
vendor/prod ID different reader but also fits in the
floppy drive (6in1). Anyway I'm running both RH9 with
2.4.21 and RH7.2 with 2.4.19. My reader works with
both. I get similar messages in logs when I try to
mount any of the card types. Devices that have valid
media will work however. A few things to check:
1) Make sure you have valid media in one of the slots
:^)
2) You might have to enable CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN when
you compile the kernel. If you are using xconfig it's
something like SCSI support / Probe all LUNs on each
SCSI device.
3) If the above doesn't work, and you want more debug
info try getting sg3-utils-0.95 and run sg_map and
sg_scan -i. I see something like this on my system:
# sg_map
/dev/sg0 /dev/scd0
/dev/sg1 /dev/sda
/dev/sg2 /dev/sdb
/dev/sg3 /dev/sdc
/dev/sg4 /dev/sdd
sg3_utils-0.95]# sg_scan -i
/dev/sg0: scsi0 channel=0 id=0 lun=0 [em] type=5
IOMEGA ZIPCD1024INT-A 1.1 [wide=0 sync=0
cmdq=0 sftre=0 pq=0x0]
/dev/sg1: scsi1 channel=0 id=0 lun=0 [em] type=0
USB Card Reader 1.01 [wide=0 sync=0
cmdq=0 sftre=0 pq=0x0]
/dev/sg2: scsi1 channel=0 id=0 lun=1 [em] type=0
USB Card Reader 1.01 [wide=0 sync=0
cmdq=0 sftre=0 pq=0x0]
/dev/sg3: scsi1 channel=0 id=0 lun=2 [em] type=0
USB Card Reader 1.01 [wide=0 sync=0
cmdq=0 sftre=0 pq=0x0]
/dev/sg4: scsi1 channel=0 id=0 lun=3 [em] type=0
USB Card Reader 1.01 [wide=0 sync=0
cmdq=0 sftre=0 pq=0x0]
Note that my 6-1 reader appears as 4 sg devices. Each
device is equivalent to a slot in the front. (sg0 is
my CDROM)
Hope this helps
Good Luck
Sopho
