Ricoh SD card reader does not work, loading mmc_block and inserting makes kernel go BOOM

Linux lovegood 2.6.20-9-generic #2 SMP Mon Feb 26 03:01:44 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

2.6.20-10-generic is somewhat of an improvement: it does not crash any more, but does not make the SD card reader work either.

I think I am having a similar issue, attached is a segment of my /var/log/messages when I inserted the card.

The card is a Texas Instruments.

I have a thinkpad X40, too. The card reader used to work with edgy, but now it doesn't work anymore. So this is a regression.

I just rebooted my laptop after some upgrades and now everything is working again. Whoever fixed this, Thank You.

My IBM X40 doesn't see anything when an SD card is inserted with the release 2.6.20-15 Feisty kernel
(but doesn't crash)

tail /var/log/messages -> nothing shows up...

Using 2.6.20-15-generic on my Thinkpad X40 the SD card reader works the first time I use it. The following times it gives me this error:

I have a Fujitsu-Siemens V3205 with R5C822, and Ubuntu 7.04.
Card reader doesn't work.

I can confirm that nothing happens when I insert a SD card in a Lenovo v100 on kernel:

$ uname -r

Can I give you any more information? It looks like it should work, and maybe I just need to mount it manually, but I dont know where to look.

I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 and the Card reader is not working.

With Ubuntu Edgy was working very well even with Feisty but with older kernel versions, I dont know It was not working but need to read a card and I saw this problem, I think the importance of this bug is "High" and not "medium" couse soo many people need to use their readers now when memory cards is a common use and optical storages is passing to obsolecense.

I can confirm that on a Dell 1505n with Feisty pre-installed;
A Sandisk SD card works in the multi card reader slot.
A Fujifilm XD card does NOT work.
"Works" means it mounts and opens automatically.

I confirm: on Dell Inspiron 6400 with 7.04 fresh installed SD card works ok, but XD doesn't.

I can confirm the same problem on a Dell Inspiron 9400. SD works but xD does not. I have the same version hardware card reader and software as raul (above).

It works ok for me with SD cards, but MSPro cards don't work. I'm trying on a Lenovo 300 N100 with Edgy.

I confirm the card reader problem on Toshiba L40 laptop. I tried the memory stick card, but I have no sd card to try this.

I am using Ubuntu feisty with kernel of 2.6.20-16-generic.

xD cards are still unreadable on Gutsy kernel 2.6.22-14-generic with all updates installed as of 10/15

Yes, I confirm that the xD card reader does not work on Linux kernel 2.6.22-14 on Kubuntu Gutsy (installed on 10/18)

My computer is a Samsung R70

Confirmed for me too. I'm running Gutsy 64 on an HP Pavillion dv6000-series laptop. I had the card reader working just fine under Edgy, but since upgrading it has ceased to work. I did not to a fresh install; I downloaded the alternate install CD and updated from it. A fresh install was (and still is) out of the question. Not having this card reader working is a royal pain in the arse for me, and I would definitely appreciate having it fixed ASAP.

Some additional information about my situation:

What's got me confused is this:
$ls /dev/mmc*
ls: /dev/mmc*: No such file or directory

Maybe my card reader is /dev/something else, but I honestly don't know what. I'll admit my knowledge of hardware/OS interaction is limited at best, but if you need more information please let me know (and possibly include what command I should run to provide you with that information) and I'll pass it along. You can contact me via e-mail at: ve4cib(at)gmai(dot)com

Correction: in my intro I stated that the card reader had worked under Edgy. My mistake. I meant to say Feisty. I didn't own this computer back in the days of Edgy. Not that that bit of minutia probably makes a lot of difference.

...and the serial-posting continues. I've managed to get the card reader to work by running the following commands:

$sudo modprobe -r sdhci
$sudo modprobe -r mmc_block
$sudo modprobe sdhci
$sudo modprobe mmc_block

After running those I popped a card into the slot and it mounted with no hassle.
Not sure if my problem is the same as anyone else's, but that fix may work for some of the rest of you.

$sudo modprobe -r sdhci
$sudo modprobe -r mmc_block
$sudo modprobe sdhci
$sudo modprobe mmc_block

doesnt change anything here, theres no sign that the notebook has noticed the card.

Hi Daniel,

Can you try testing with the 2.6.24 kernel in Hardy and verify if this is still an issue in the newer kernel? Thanks.

Same issue. I am using an olympus xd card and nothing happens.

Hi Court,

Thanks for testing, but it appears you are still using the older 2.6.22-14 kernel. The Hardy Heron Alpha2 release should be coming out soon (around Dec 20) which will contain an updated kernel. Care to retest with the Alpha2 LiveCD when it is available? I'll be sure to update this report when Alpha2 is ready. Thanks!

Hardy Heron Alpha2 was recently released. It contains an updated version of the kernel. You can download and try the new Hardy Heron Alpha2 release from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/alpha-2/ . You should be able to then test the new kernel via the LiveCD. If you can, please verify if this bug still exists or not and report back your results. General information regarding the release can also be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/alpha2 . Thanks!

Leann,

I downloaded the Hardy Heron Alpha2 and still have the same issue.

I also still have the problem on Hardy alpha 2.

Are MS/xD integrated readers supported at all? I thought that only integrated MMC/SD/CF readers were supported by linux due to the proprietary nature of the others.

This was the first attempt to use my card reader since I use Hardy, but on Feisty it worked.

Wow szabolcs, I got the exact same problem with my card reader, exact same specs and exact same error message....

In my case, using a normal 2 gb sd card doesn't provoke any problems.. but using my new 4 gb sdhc card brings this error...

The weird thing is that I was able to get it to work twice during my tests by inserting/ejecting the card repeatly... so I know it work at some point... unfortunatly, the other 99 % of the time, I get the same error as yours (mmc1: error -110 whilst initialising SD card)

Could anyone help us with this problem... this is really annoying !! Thanks !!

sudo modprobe -r sdhci
sudo modprobe -r mmc_block
sudo modprobe sdhci
sudo modprobe mmc_block

Then I insert the card into the reader. The reader device appears in Computer:/// but does not mount.

SRU Justification:

Impact: Inserting MMC card make kernel go boom.

Patch Description: Use DECLARE_BITMAP() to correctly define a bitmap in a system independent manner.

Patch: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-hardy.git;a=commit;h=ba8b80cb426008f302098e0dbd447ae1dfbd80d9

TEST CASE: Insert an MMC block device when using a 64 bit kernel.

Accepted into -proposed, please test and give feedback here

the commits are shown for the hardy branch only, rolling back to 'triaged' for intrepid

Copied to hardy-updates. The new kernel was tested extensively by many people, who reported back in other bug reports. Due to lack of feedback, this particular bug was not confirmed to be tested, though. Please report back here if the bug still occurs for you with the new kernel packages, then we will reopen this bug.

device not showing up, no dmesg messages when inserting a card. tried to load timfs modules, nothing happend.
so bug still opened?

Hi fly3rman,

Given the description of what you see, it sounds like either you're experiencing a different bug, or this bug is partially fixed; the original bug report specified that the kernel locked up when a card was inserted, which doesn't seem to be what's happening to you.

I suggest opening a second bug report about this, so that we're able to use this bug report for tracking the kernel lockup regression.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

I have tryed Alpha5 LiveCD AMD64 but cardreader don't work ... in this day later I try daily build LiveCD AMD64 080909 because on my Dell I6400 have applet (FastSwitchUser and gnome-power-manager) unstable, but new version is marked released ... tomorrow I make another report.

I have tested this on a Asus Z53Sv (similar to F3Sv) with an Intrepid Alpha6 AMD64 LiveCD and I observed the same behaviour as Vreixo Formoso wrote on 2007-09-12 and Richard wrote on 2007-09-30:

* SD card works fine (shows up in kern.log, auto detection in KDE, read/write, unmount)
* Memory Stick Pro Duo does NOT work (not a single line in kern.log on insertion/ejection)

I do observe this behaviour since at least 2.6.18, including currently installed hardy generic (386) stock kernels, self compiled 2.6.24.3 distribution kernel and 2.6.26.5 vanilla kernel.

btw: I did not have the kernel go 'BOOM' (at least not in connection with any cardreader activities) as the original poster did, but due to lack of it I did not yet test it with a MMC card.

I have updated to Intrepid and it still not working for my memory stick.

Per a decision made by the Ubuntu Kernel Team, bugs will longer be assigned to the ubuntu-kernel-team in Launchpad as part of the bug triage process. The ubuntu-kernel-team is being unassigned from this bug report. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies for more information. Thanks.

I have tried now on jaunty on dell inspiron 6400 with same error.
I attach lspci -v,lspci -vn, dmesg.
