You might recall that I had problems getting my MMC reader to work with SuSE 8.1, but that it eventually worked. However, I have now upgraded to 8.2 and, bizarrely, it seems not to work on the new system. When I plug it in, the device shows up in /var/log/messages, is assigned a scsi id, and appears in the list in usbview. However, it never gets mounted, eventually timing out. Nothing further happens even if I leave it for ages. If I remove it and then connect it again, this appears to freeze the usb system completely (the pc won't even shut down properly, freezing at the "shutting down hotplug services" stage). Does anyone know whether anything has changed in the usb system that might explain this, and that I might be able to return to the 8.1 state? I am rather disappointed that 8.2 seems to have removed some devices from its support list!
