Anton, it's a built-in card reader, no external devices involved.
OK, but regardless, you might want to try an external reader, just as JDD suggests.
Hmm, I'm not sure what that will bring? As for as achieving my main objective, I can use the Toshiba laptop, everything works fine. What is annoying is that the newer Lenovo laptop with the newer openSUSE distro does _not_ work. That is the issue I am pursuing. The question is if it is a hardware issue (in which case I return the laptop for repair) or if it is a driver issue. Second, I'd also like to understand why the flash card is available as /dev/sdx on the older platform and /dev/mmcblkx on the newer, and in particular if it makes a difference.
Using the same external reader on both machines would serve to determine if it is the internal reader on the new computer that is the problem, or it is the card.
There must be some logic I can't follow here - the card works, it was flashed, the target machine (nanopi) is booting from it and I can read with the Leonovo. It seems quite clear that the issue is with the Lenovo, but again, hardware or driver? (if the card didn't work, it would be easier&cheaper to get hold of a new card than an external reader). Uh wait, I've just seen a pile of error messages on the Lenovo: http://files.jessen.ch/lenovo-sdcard.txt I think I might open a bugreport.
I'm surprised at the different device.
Me too. Especially when the hookup looks so similar - Realtek, USB, RTS5129, RTS5138. On the old Toshiba, usb storage is obviously being loaded, somehow that doesn't happen on the new Lenovo.
I just tried a memcard on this laptop that runs 42.2, and it worked the same as always, /dev/sdb.
What kind of interface is it - USB etc? Plug the card in, then run lsusb. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
