Hey all, System: SuSE 8.2 pro edition. Card reader: LaCiE Hexa Media Drive Problem: I can only mount the microdrive slot, not any of the others. hwinfo --usb [with 1GB microdrive and 16MB smartmedia - both slot leds light up indicating they are recognised on the adaptor]: [snip] 05: SCSI 203.0: 10600 Disk [Created at usb.100] Unique ID: B3Fu.dxfYG9cb2s2 Hardware Class: disk Model: "Y-E CF Card Reader" Hotplug: USB Vendor: "Y-E DATA" Device: "CF Card Reader" Revision: "1.03" Serial ID: "00000000ED3F" USB GUID: 057b0020000000000000ed3f Driver: "usb-storage" Device File: /dev/sda Speed: 1.5 Mbps Size: 2104704 sectors a 512 bytes Geometry (Logical): CHS 1014/34/61 Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no Attached to: #4 (Hub) I can mount /dev/sda[1] no problem, but I can't get it to recognize a card in any other slot. There are no more entries in the hwinfo --usb command related to this drive, and it used to work =o/ So, any thoughts on where to proceed from here? I would like to get it working and it *used* to work! I could mount the various slots, but something has happened... and I don't know what! argh :/ If i just put the smartmedia in, it doesn't recognize it. With only the smartmedia in, with hwinfo --usb, I get: 05: SCSI 203.0: 10600 Disk [Created at usb.100] Unique ID: B3Fu.dxfYG9cb2s2 Hardware Class: disk Model: "Y-E CF Card Reader" Hotplug: USB Vendor: "Y-E DATA" Device: "CF Card Reader" Revision: "1.03" Serial ID: "00000000ED3F" USB GUID: 057b0020000000000000ed3f Driver: "usb-storage" Device File: /dev/sda Speed: 1.5 Mbps Size: 2097151 sectors a 512 bytes Geometry (Logical): CHS 1023/64/32 Drive status: no medium Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no Attached to: #4 (Hub) So itcomplains of "no medium". Argh :/ Heeeeeeeelp please ! Thank you for your time and patience. Jon
