Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-generic

On a Dell Inspiron laptop with Feisty Fawn installed, suspend to RAM and the built in SD card reader worked with 2.6.20-12. When the kernel was updated to 2.6.20-13, both suspend to RAM and the SD card reader stopped working. Reverting back to 12 works perfectly.

If you are going to work on kernel bug reports, then please read:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies

Do not set the Confirmed state without following the policies.

This bug does not have enough information to determine if it is confirmed, or even the severity of the issue.

Please attach (do not paste into comment) the output of dmesg from both -12 and -13 kernels (attach separately, do no cat together or tar).

Thanks

My bad, sorry. I didn't realise that the kernel package had different policies.

Just found out that I actually had a -12 kernel installed. Unfortunately, the above just repeats when trying with -12.

Does this make another bug; could it be udev/gnome-volume-manager -related?

the suspend problem seems to be resolved with the -14 kernel update (Thinkpad x60s)
Don't have an SDCard to try the reader...

I recently experienced the same regression with my Ricoh card reader. I should add that the device is being created successfully. It's just not being mounted automatically. 'sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt' allows me to access my data on my SD card.

Until now, my SD card Transcend 2Go wasn't automounted on my Dell Laptop Inspiron 9300. (Not on Gutsy, not on Feisty. The last time it worked, it was on Edgy !!

Yesterday, I found the reason : Ubuntu can't automount my SD card 2.0 Go if it is not formatted in FAT32 mode.
Hard to find... and possibly a problem, as APN, Pocket PC and Palm don't all support the standard "SD 2.0". Though they format the card in FAT16 mode.

At least my SD card work !
If yours isn't automounted, try to format it in a different mode (FAT16 or FAT32).

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!

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.
