Are you sure the flash device doesn't have a lock on
Yes. As a matter of fact, I knew this question would be asked :-) I'v tried four flash cards from my compact camera. They all - are unlocked - are unaltered sinced I used them on my 11.1 PC a few weeks ago, - are still mounted rw on my 11.1 laptop - are mounted ro on my now 11.2 PC Here are a few snippets from said 11.1 laptop with the same flash card: kpo17180@xpcnd731166v:~/tmp> mount|grep vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1001,utf8,shortname=mixed,flush) Output from dmesg on the 11.1 laptop after insertion: tifm_core: MMC/SD card detected in socket 0:1 mmc1: new SD card at address 0002 mmcblk0: mmc1:0002 00000 974 MiB mmcblk0: p1 Thanks, Koos -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

And I'm completely stumped as I can't reproduce my earlier findings. I've formatted the card per your request but that hasn't changed. I do am rid of the "bogus sectors" message but that's it. I also tried other SD cards just to rule out the card being defective. Noteworty: the digital camera still mounts the SD cards R/W). It's probably the easiest if I show y'all the list with findings: Distro SD Card XD Card ---------------------------------------------- OpenSuSE 11.2 x64 RO RW OpenSuSE 11.1 x64 RO - OpenSuSE 11.1 x32 RO RW OpenSuSE 11.0 x32 RO - Clonezilla unkn. vers. RO - Puppy Linux 4.1 RO - Conclusion: the SD card is never mounted RW and XD card is checked twice and both times mounted RW. I expect the kernel from 11.1 x32 to be miles apart from 11.2 x64. So I don't see the point in rerunning all checks to see results for the XD card. I expect these to be the same (i.e. RW) for all distro's. There is a perhaps the possibility that the SD port of the card reader is faulty. Besides a faulty SD port, I have no further explanation to these results. Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Given the list above I accept rebuttals that this is not a kernel bug. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I think your best bet is to test KOTD one more time (Comment #7) and if that fails then file a bug with http://bugzilla.kernel.org Please let us know the bug URL or if KOTD works.

I've changed jobs, requiring substantial time and energy. In the meantime I've bought a new internal cardreader which works great. I've tossed away the old one, so I can not reproduce the problem or investigate any further with the KOTD. Many thanks for all your effort.
