If it says it is a Generic card reader, Vendor 0x1019, ProductID 0xc55, Revision 0.00, check out https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=220251 and if this is your problem, you could use the latest kernel from the Kernel repository for the 10.2 branch, i.e. joe@jmorris:~> rpm -q kernel-default kernel-default-2.6.18.5-181.1 or patch your kernel and rebuild to get a working usbstorage.ko for that card reader, then just replace it.

Dear Joe, I am using kernel 2.6.18.2-34-default.
OK, that is the default kernel for 10.2
No reaction after I insert memory sticks or cf cards in the reader. Nothing.
But I assume your card reader is found during boot? What does the USB section of Kinfoview show you about the device.
Used usbview which tells me: ------------------------------- Can not open the file /proc/bus/usb/devices
Obviously too old to help here.
Verify that you have USB compiled into your kernel, have the USB core modules loaded, and have the usbdevfs filesystem mounted. --------------------------------- That the file /proc/bus/usb/devices cannot be opened is logical. That file does not exist.
Correct, it has been deprecated.
As my USB scanner is recognized and works I assume the kernel is okay.
Correct
If the USB core modules are loaded I do not know but assume that part is also okay. What I know is that usbdevfs is not found in the fstab where I would expect it.
Because it has been done away with, and since the kernel USB maintainer works for SUSE, we might as well get used to doing things a new way.
Looked at the latest kernel-default and found that the rpm is only 50K. Is that right? Must have been deleted already. Before I try to patch or get the latest kernel I just want to check if the error has another cause.
IF you have the same card reader as I, and it used to work fine but quit working with 10.2, there is a good chance this is your problem. They changed the source for this card, which broke some (like mine). They changed it again in the 2.6.19 kernel, which fixed it again. The card reader is recognized but not initialized so it doesn't work. HTH. I think it would help to read the bug report. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
