I took the SD card out of the laptop and the adapter and put it into my Android phone. The phone reported that it was damaged and asked if I wanted to format it. Since the card was blank I told the phone to do so. After it finished the phone happily mounted the card. Then I took the card out of the phone and inserted it back into the laptop. Now I get: [jjj@Devil8 ~]$ dmesg |tail [83821.802409] end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 4 [83821.806631] mmcblk0: error -110 sending status comand [83821.806635] mmcblk0: error -110 sending read/write command, response 0x0, card status 0x0 [83821.806639] end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 5 [83821.810782] mmcblk0: error -110 sending status comand [83821.810785] mmcblk0: error -110 sending read/write command, response 0x0, card status 0x0 [83821.810788] end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 6 [83821.815133] mmcblk0: error -110 sending status comand [83821.815137] mmcblk0: error -110 sending read/write command, response 0x0, card status 0x0 [83821.815140] end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 7 The tail -f /var/log/messages command gives me more or less the same output as dmesg |tail. Apparently something in what I did trying to follow the instructions damaged the SD card. I think I need a command that clearly tells me exactly what Fedora 14 thinks the name of the device is. The results of dmesg and tail commands give me confusing results. There must be a command that gives a list of all devices attached to the computer. And, since the phone just "reformatted" the card without saying anything about what file system it used, it would be helpful to find out what file system it currently has. And maybe I should just reformat it with the laptop, where I can specify vfat. Except the laptop cannot currently see it. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
