USB memory card reader and 64MB SD card - 2.6.28-git14

USB memory card reader and 64MB SD card - 2.6.28-git14

[rhubbell]

(Please CC me in replie,s if it's not too much trouble.)

I had this issue with previous kernels, but I don't know when the
problem
started. I once was able to read this card.

Not sure what filesystems are on either card, not sure if it matters.
The cards are not mounted automatically so I am guessing that the
file system doesn't become an issue until mount time.

The device is a Phison 6-in-1 and has no problems with
other cards.

When inserted this card causes no problems:

This is a 128MB card:

Jan 10 10:47:06  kernel:  uba: uba1


When the next card is inserted the keyboard partially locks up, the
special laptop keys work still.
e.g. the fn-contrast up/dn works still but not other keys work

Removing the card returns things to as before insertion.

This is a 64MB card from a phone:

Looks like your kernel is configured to use the ub "low performance USB 
storage" driver, you could try the normal USB storage driver instead..

What dmesg output are you getting now?

That output seems rather normal.. If you're not getting anything like 
that with the other card though, I would tend to suspect some kind of 
issue with the card, the reader or some kind of incompatibility between 
them. Certainly all the USB resets from the other output would tend to 
suggest the reader isn't responding properly with that card installed..

I found another SD card and I am unable to read that.
I suppose the reader could have a problem, although it's fairly
simple, the led indicator blinks on card insertion.

The card did read in a PS3. Will try another reader.

Re: USB memory card reader and 64MB SD card - 2.6.28-git14

[rhubbell]

After just replying to this... I plugged the card reader
into the PS3 and can read both SD cards, no problem.

It does seem to point back to the kernel.

I'll try to figure out how to get more info out of the USB bus.

Enable verbose for starters and see where that goes.
