Salix Forums

I've got a micro SD card which can be mounted on two Android phones an in Windows 7 but not in my Salix x86_64 14.0. I've already got the card checked by SanDisk and got it replaced to eliminate factory faults.

Running "lsusb" the card reader is being recognised:
----- Bus 001 Device 008: ID 058f:6332 Alcor Micro Corp. Multi-Function Card Reader

running "dmesg | tail" prints:

[11674.353021] usb 1-7: new high-speed USB device number 9 using ehci_hcd

but I still can't mount it using "mount"! Aaarrgghhh!!

running "fdisk -l" doesn't list it.

Can anyone guide me to solve this issue please?

Are you sure fdisk -l doesn't list the device? Can you post the output after you have inserted it? Also post the output of as root after you have inserted the card. And you shouldn't need to mount it using the mount command, it should be there on the desktop.

Unfortunately it's not being auto mounted as many other devices do. I've got another 2GB Sandisk micro SD card which auto-mounts fine. however this one has been a nightmare . thanks for any help in advance.

Is it possible that your card reader does not support SDHC cards and it only supports SD cards? Did the same reader ever work with the same card, with any other OS?

Hmmm very possible, didnt think of that combination. The same reader did work with the same card under windows 7, however since the card reader is more than 2 years old it still might be something limited with it as you say. I'll try to use another card reader and post back

You were right http://forum.salixos.org/memberlist.php ... ofile&u=54 gapan, it was the bloody card reader that could not handle SDHC memory cards! have got a new card reader (Cadena+) and it works fine now, so after all Slackware is still great
Thanks all for your help.
(how do I mark this as solved?)

Good.
