LMDE T61 SD Card Reader Not Mounting Card

[MightyMouth]

Lenovo T61 with Integrated Smart Card Reader.

I have just recently installed LMDE after using Ubuntu 11.04 on which the SD card reader worked ok. I have read several threads in the forums about similar issues and so have tried the suggestions as follows but none of the threads I have found go beyond this.

If I do "lsusb" I get a list with the following at the bottom.
Bus 006 Device 002: ID 17ef:1003 Lenovo Integrated Smart Card Reader

If I remove the card and do "sudo tail -f /var/log/messages" then plug the card in I get

Aug 2 23:15:41 t61 kernel: [ 901.296084] r852: detected xD writeable card in slot
Aug 2 23:15:42 t61 kernel: [ 901.600141] NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0x98, Chip ID: 0x71 (Toshiba xD 256MiB 3,3V)

but the card is not mounted.

I have checked that libccid and pcscd are installed.

Any suggestions?

Ok some development, It appears it is only xD-Picture cards that do not work, SD Cards woork fine. Is there something which might prevent one card type from working?

Please post the complete output of these commands:

Code: Select all

lspci
lsusb

It's possible that the xD cardreader is in lspci (a Ricoh r852 perhaps?) and the reader in lsusb is the SD part.

Hey AlbertP thanks for the reply, you are right.

I have since tried the following after seeing a similar problem on the Ubuntu Forums.

Code: Select all

sudo setpci -v -s 15:00.2 0xCA=0x57
sudo setpci -v -s 15:00.2 0xCB=0x02
sudo setpci -v -s 15:00.2 0xCA=0x00

But for some reason I get an error

Code: Select all

setpci: Missing width.

You're having exactly the same cardreader as I (but at me the Lenovo lsusb device is missing - my laptop is HP).

Support for 'MS' cards for this reader has been introduced in the 2.6.39 kernel, but support for SD cards has been there for years and is, at me, working fine on the 2.6.3x kernels. Make sure the sdhci-pci driver is loaded for the R5C822 chip:

Code: Select all

lspci -k

[MightyMouth]

It's strange that this has all worked fine in Ubuntu and Linux Mint for years but Debian has a problem with it. I like the speed I get with LMDE on this older laptop though so it is worth working through these issues. I have also come across another issue with the Samba Client not working very well but that is an issue for another time. Anyway...

lspci -knn | grep 1180 gives

Oops, that was the wrong command. I meant to know the driver loaded for each card, but because I did grep it did not show those lines.

Edit. I found the driver for the 'Lenovo Integrated Smart Card Reader'! It's libccid in the repository.
