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. I'm surprised at the different device.
I just tried a memcard on this laptop that runs 42.2, and it worked the same as always, /dev/sdb.
I just did the same. I have a build in reader slot on this old Dell Inspiron 9400. When I insert a 16gig SdHC card in the reader there is an absolute shit storm of messages spewed by journalctl -ef. Including stack traces and all shorts of scary stuff. Then the card comes available in /run/media/jsa/disk/ and is perfectly readable. The underlying device is /dev/mmcblk0 with one partition /dev/mmcblk01 Then I get my portable USB Multi-Slot reader, and plug that in. No drama in the logs. But it can't read the Sdhc card. It will read an old CF card I happened to have. It comes up as /dev/sdb with one partition /dev/sdb1 Stranger and Stranger. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done.
