Are you sure the flash device doesn't have a lock on? e.g. http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/4850280/Img2765_Full.jpg -- 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.

There are a number of changes related to write protect detection in the MMC layer since 2.6.31.

kernel-$flavor-base isn't needed anymore. It's a subset of the regular kernel-$flavor package.

Right. Thanks. Anton please test this RPM then: http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/master/x86_64/kernel-desktop.rp... -- 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.

Note: The write lock tab on the cards have been checked and double checked with the digital camera.

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.
