Haia List After I couldn't get my Dig Camera to work with SuSE I decided to buy a cardreader. It is a Belkin USB media reader with slots for 8 different cards. So far so good. I connected it and it came up somewhere ( cannot remember where) as a compact flash reader. However for some reason I had to restart my computer and now it ( the computer) doesn't start anymore. It goes to the screen where it says ""press F2 for bios"' and hangs there. Also when I press F2, there is no reaction. Unplugging the reader, and everything is honky dory. I don't know if it is important but I also connected an USB printer/scanner/copier at the same time . This one is working except for the scanner but I will send a different email for that. Any idea how I can get the reader to work? Thanks for your help. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. My holy cow is a penguin.

You say nothing specific about your equipment or version of SuSE, so you force guestimation. Since your system started properly before you plugged-in the card-reader, unplug the card-reader until your system is booted, then plug-in the card-reader. ps, you might have to do the same with your printer. I would guess that your computer power supply is deficient and the extra load from powering the usb devices is too much at boot time. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org

Ok. Sorry about that. Using SuSe 8.2 with a 1GHZ Intel CPU, 40GB HDD and 512 RAM

I have done that but it means that I have to unplug the reader every time I want to restart the computer. I think that cannot be right, there must be a reason for that.

...

ps, you might have to do the same with your printer.

The printer works just fine . Also no problems when i start the computer.

...

When I unplug the printer and plug-in ONLY the cardreader the computer still hangs.Ii won't start with the cardreader plugged in. BTW do you know if a card reader is recognized by the computer as a scanner? I think I saw somewhere that it is not possible to connect two scanners? My printer has a scanner . Thanks very much for your help. -- Greetings from /bill at 169 west , 19 south. My holy cow is a penguin.

-- I have had similar problems...booting hangs at the hardware scan IF I have a card in the card reader. If I take it out and boot (with reader still attached to the USB port...boots fine. Why? Don't know. You may want to make sure you don't have a card in the reader.

Also, your card reader is probably sda1. You should have (or have added) a line in /etc/fstab like: /dev/sda1 /mnt/cardreader vfat rw,noauto,user,exec 0 0 also assumes you have created a mount point like "/mnt/cardreader". Hope this helps. Randy

It would be /dev/sda1 not just sda.... And since this is a reader for 8 different devices, you may need to do additional diddling like I had to do in the following script (for a 4 device reader) #!/bin/sh echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 1" > /proc/scsi/scsi echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 2" > /proc/scsi/scsi echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 3" > /proc/scsi/scsi cat /proc/scsi/scsi I would plug in your reader and then run the above script. If it shows (via the cat command) that it now has 4 devices showing (sda1,sda2,etc), then modify it for 8 devices. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

The card-reader should *always* be unmounted before removing the card.

My system caused me problems with the card-reader plugged-in also, so I unplug it when I reboot every 6 to 12 weeks. I use more than one device on that cable anyway.

Hi Patrck Thanks for your response. Haven't fix the problem yet.

You haven't fixed the problem? You cannot boot or cannot boot with the card-reader plugged-in? Or cannot read from the card-reader after booting? If you cannot boot with the card-reader present, unplug it. That is *not* a problem, it's a solution. Perhaps not the desired solution but not *unacceptable*.

From a clean boot w/o the card-reader present. Plug-in the card-reader and wait. Approx 5 seconds you should hear a beep indicating hotplug has recognized (iianm) the device and a line should automatically appear after an empty line at the bottom of /etc/fstab, ie: /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 auto noauto,user,exec 0 0 #HOTPLUG B3Fu.4G0qp7e_XDE

Insert a memory card in the reader and you should be able to mount the device, ie: mount /media/sdb1 Then as user you should have access to the memory card as if it was a floppy disk or a hard drive. It is not necessary to make any changes to /etc/fstab and, I would suggest that you remove any that you have made. This works on my equipment and I have a two port usb with access to an epson usb printer and a PNY compact flash card-reader or an Iomega 250 Zip drive. note: My equip is ancient, 733 P6 HomeMadE with only 250w power supply and the cpu fan has been replaced (necessary) 3 times. Please indicate .. How you are sucked ..

You need to create the directory for the mountpoint and make sure it has the right permissions (presumably rwxrwxrwx) Dylan

Ok, try again.... one more tyme.... and as I said before "change the first 0 in the commands above to be a 1 instead of a 0" The above commands are pointing at scsi0 controller and they need to point to scsi1.

Ok, you've got sdb1 and sdb2 showing (I think) and if you ran the script I gave you you might get more LUNs (as they are called in the SCSI world) But first you will have to change the script so that the first '0' is a 1. Note that in the above list you have your CompactFlash on scsi1. So change the first '0' in all of the script lines to be '1' and try again.
