Public bug reported: I am using ubuntu 8.10. Kernel 2.6.27-7-generic. I used the standard usb-stick install, installed first to the usb stick, using ubuntu live cd, then installed to pc using live usb.
The internal SD reader does not read any sd cards, sdhc or sd. *********************************************************************** Fdisk -l reads a follows: SSD hard drive Disk /dev/sda: 4001 MB, 4001292288 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 486 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000b8d4b Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 486 3903763+ 83 Linux hangs until I remove the sd card. *********************************************************************** /etc/fstab reads # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 # /dev/sda1 UUID=3131c5a9-519a-4af9-b96a-d69ea189cff8 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 ************************************************************************** dmesg reads sdb is the sd cardreader see attachment for full dmesg [ 2057.171563] ---[ end trace 78ee411abdf56ed1 ]--- [ 2948.736927] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] 1984000 512-byte hardware sectors (1016 MB) [ 2948.741932] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off [ 2948.741951] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 [ 2948.741959] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 2948.751918] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] 1984000 512-byte hardware sectors (1016 MB) [ 2948.754938] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off [ 2948.754957] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 [ 2948.754964] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 2948.754980] sdb: sdb1 [ 2984.386913] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Device not ready: Sense Key : Not Ready [current] [ 2984.386941] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Device not ready: Add.

One last thing, if I reboot with the sd card in the reader, the fstab reads the card, but if I try to mount the card using mount /dev/sdb1, It returns mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Interpid does not mount SD on eeepc 701 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299336 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
