OpenSUSE Hardware :: Mounting A 16GB SDHC Card On 11.3 Laptop ?
Jan 5, 2011
I have an HPDV7 running 11.3.
I have a new 16GB SDHC memory card.
It is formatted FAT-32 LBA
When I plug the the card into the DV7's internal MMC/SD card slot, it automounts as /dev/mmcbkl0p1.
I can then access files (camera images) on the card with Dolphin, etc.
When I plug the card into an external card reader(USB interface), automount fails and I can see a long string of messages from dmesg. It is attempting to mount it as /dev/sdd, I see numerous I/O errors as it attempts to read various sectors.
The card reader is a Kingston FCR-HS219/1.
The 16GB SDHC card in the Kingston card reader combo works on my WinXP machine, so (apparently) the combo does work.
A 2GB SD card (FAT16) in the Kingston reader works on both WinXP and the HPDV7 11.3 laptop.

I have an EeePC 4g netbook which only has a 4Gb hard drive and I thought I would like to install Fedora 13 on an 8 Gb SDHC card and use it to boot the netbook.
As neither the netbook nor I have an optical drive, I made a bootable USB memory stick using Unetbootin which boots the netbook and could be used like a live CD to install Fedora.
On booting with the live USB stick, with the blank SD card in place, and clicking on the install icon, the installation starts but then there are 2 problems; the first is that the installer appears to want to install to both the SD card and also the USB stick. There is a tick in the box beside the USB stick which I can't remove.
I decided to ignore that and put a tick in the box beside the SD card but when it got to the point where it creates partitions it said "Could not find enough free space for automatic partitioning. Please use another partitioning method"
Surely 8 GB is more than enough space for partitioning, so where am I going wrong and why does it want to install on the USB stick as well?

I am wondering if it would be possible to format an 8g SDHC card in a way that it will be able to be written to and read by an SD reader?
Reading about SDHC vs SD suggests that the only difference is the block/cluster/byte configurations. Is that true?
Could I format the 8g FAT32 SDHC with gparted to a 1g FAT16 partition with the rest of the space left un-formatted so an SD reader could handle it?

I am using UNE 10.04 and when I place my SDHC card in my netbook's built in sd card reader it doesn't do anything and shows no signs of the cards existence. I am dual booting with windows 7 which does recognize the card.

When installing Fedora 11 (Gnome, from live CD), is it possible to use a SDHC card for the /home partition?
The reason I'm asking: having heard that Fedora 11 should support the EeePC 701, I decided to try the installation, following this guide. I created the partitions as in the guide, with the exception that in the place of a 16 gb secondary SSD I have a 16 gb SDHC card. The installation ends in an unhandled exception.
I tried various different partitioning systems, always however putting the /home partition on the SDHC card, because if I select only the machine's 4 gb SSD to be used in the installation, I'm told that there is insufficient space. Whatever I try, I always get the unhandled exception error. So, I'm wondering if this is due to trying to use the SDHC card for the /home partition.
I'm afraid I didn't save the error message details, and since installed OpenSUSE on the eeePC, but this started bugging me.

I would like to install fedora onto a memory card 16Gb kingstone SDHC that I use in a ACER aspire one
I followed the instruction on the website and I found the following problem:
The wireless and Ethernet hardware where either not found or, if they were found, they did't work and there were no possibilities to make it work.
The strange thing is that almost every time after I attempted to boot form the memory when booting window as usual, the Ethernet hardware was not found anymore also under window!

I have tried putting the SDHC card in before switching on laptop, after, unmounting and remounting several times... on the odd occasion (1/10?) it reads fine, but more often than not, i can see thumbnails of all the images but on opening the file it comes out wrong...either most of the image is a grey block - so can see a tiny bit of sky then its as if it hasn't rendered the whole image...or, the image is striped horizontally, with as if a film negative has been shredded and then misaligned with the colours going wrong...is there an update, something to install to fix this? ETA: - its not the card which works perfect on other laptops and its not the card reader it opens fine in windows 7 on the same computer.

After reading a SDHC (camera) card with my computer in a non-HC compatible card reader, i guess i destroyed the partition table.
After getting a SDHC-compatible reader i found it seems there is no part. table on the card and no fdisk(1), badblocks(1) can read that card.
Seems they will wait forever to get a part table.
dmesg says:
How to recover the card?

I have an 8 gig ssd Dell vostro that has been running ubuntu linux successfully for several months. Linux is the only O.S. on the machine. Wishing to have more room I inserted a new 32 Gig SDHC card in the card slot and did an ext4 format and then did an install using the 10.10 disk that did the original install. Everything seemed to proceed as expected, but it rebooted using the 8 Gig drive. The 32 Gig card appears to have all the proper files. How do I get it to boot from that card?

F12 on my aspire one (A110, the original 8Gb SSD model) works well with only one significant problem.
Suspend fails; the screen fades to black, backlight stays on, macine stops responding to keyboard/mouse/powerswitch and just hangs (for at least an hour... longest I left it). Only thing that works is a 5 second click of death on the powerswitch. Plus an FSCK on at least one occasion after reboot. I have not been able to check if SSH and shutdown possible (on vacation) plus have logs go to a tmpfs (to save my SSD) so no log info. Similarly I cannot confirm if this affects hibernate because I run without a swapfile (SSD again, i.5Gb ram installed and I have never come even close to running out of memory).
But I think I have the culprit anyway:[url]
As described there; shutdown fails if there is a mounted card in the cardreader slot (/dev/mmcblk0) My system has a 4Gb SDHC card in the LH slot with a single XFS filesystem; which has my homedir on it; if I unmount that filesystem (but do not remove the card) shutdown and restore appear to work properly. But if the filesytem is mounted I get the bsod. Linked bug suggests this is restricted to large filesystems (?SDHC?) but I have not fully confirmed, although that matches my situation.
Posting here to see if anyone has any further info/workarounds, to ensure the fedora crew are aware that this appears to affect F12 (and is a regression, F11 suspended fine) and make sure it is documented somewhere. The linked bug also states similar bad suspend activity on other netbooks.
I'll try some other variations (and see if it also happens with USB sticks/RH cardrader, and report back here.

I decided to use my 16gb usb drive as a boot stick for a new opensuse install by doing what the doc said to do i.e. "dd if=USBdrive of=ISO bs=4M" which worked great and all, but now I want the drive to do something else besides act like a cd with openSUSE on it. I can't figure out how to delete or write anything to it, because it's now read-only. Remounting hasn't worked but it's possible i'm not understanind how the mount command works, but I have tried "mount -rw /USB /MOUNTPLACE" and also with a couple of different filesystem types like usbfs & vfat.

I'm running openSUSE 11.4 on an HP 630 laptop with KDE. Everything works fine but cards inserted into the internal SD card reader are not read, and from what I can tell the reader is not recognized at all by openSUSE on my system. The reader does not appear listed in hardware information and is not listed with the command fdisk -l . There appear to be no references at all to the reader. The reader is recognized, however, on a live USB of Linux Mint 11, where the model is listed as "Generic - xD/SD/M.S." (the vendor too), revision 1.00. It is listed as an SCSI Controller scsi5. Typing lsscsi in the termal of openSUSE provides the following:

Well, i guess it is the graphic card:
I tried to watch a flash video on full screen; then the screen went black with some glitches and then my laptop suddenly shut down. I couldn't start opensuse back again, the screen goes black and freezes. I tried restarting in windows, and it freezes too. However, opensuse in failsafe mode works.
After that, i tried reinstalling opensuse. This time, i can start normally, but after a while, the screen shows some glitch (the updater applet looked wrong) and freezes. Windows isn't loading either, but opensuse failsafe mode is still working ok.
I guess it is a hardware problem (since windows also crashes). However, i would like some help to run "diagnostics" to my system.
My graphic card is a nvidia 8400 gs, and i am running opensuse 11.3
I was using the nvidia driver i found in opensuse-community (installed quite a long time ago); however, after i reinstalled, i was using the default driver. It is possible that my kernel was updated a couple of days ago (but i am not really sure of that)

I've been trying to partition my USB pen drive but for some reason it won't make a partition any bigger than 1 gig. The reason I formatted it was for compatibility with a friends Windows computer that wouldn't recognise it while it was NTFS (so I tried FAT16, but it still wouldn't recognise it for some strange reason.)
Anyway, after partitioning it to FAT, I partitioned it back to NTFS and shortly after tried to put Ubuntu onto it using unetbootin. During the writing process, Ubuntu locked up and I had to hard reset. (even the reisub trick did nothing) After restarting, I noticed the pen drive was showing as only 1gb big.
I don't really know if the crash caused it, because it might have been 1gb after I had reformatted to NTFS (I just didn't check).
I've since reformatted and repartitioned it using ext3/4, ntfs, FAT and it's the same every time. Also, I've tried to use unetbootin again on the 1gig partition, and it will work, but if I try to boot up off it on my netbook, it says "Missing operating system" and then boots off the hard drive.
Lastly, when I do format it, there doesn't seem to be any kind of permissions on the pen drive until I run chown on it. Then I can write to it normally.
This is a really strange problem.. I'm almost inclined to think the pen drive might just be broken and I'll need to take it back to the shop. (Withdrawing any information about the whole repartitioning it..)
I'm using gparted on 9.10 if it's relevant.

I've tried to search online but I can't find anything that works on our netbook. The netbook has a default Squeeze installation. After inserting the microSD card (via a "microSD card adapter" into the built-in slot), when I double-click on "Computer" on the Gnome desktop, it shows "Multiple Card Reader", but I can't access it. fdisk -l doesn't show any new devices, but dmesg does show the following:
[ 2532.101119] usb 1-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
[ 2542.344135] usb 1-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
[ 2558.588138] usb 1-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
[ 2558.836073] usb 1-5: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8
[Code]....
I can't mount /dev/sdb or mount /dev/sdb1 (fdisk only shows "sda1-3"). The system simply reports that "special device sdb does not exist", although during one attempt I did get a message saying "block device sdb (or sdb1) something...".
It's imperative that I can access this microSD card. It will be put into my mobile phone so I can have the Star Trek: The Next Generation theme tune as the ringtone. I'm sure you all - as will all of humanity - realise the importance of this endeavour

I've tried for some time now to get my Zen 16GB working properly with Ubuntu 10.04. I've tried Rhythmbox and this works for mp3s but album art is not transferring. I have latest 0.13 Rhythmbox and now at leat the mp3's go in directories under Music, but the .alb file is put a root and not ar is displayed.
I have tried gnomad2 and the latest (2.9.4?) crashes with 10.04 when reading the Zen. I can't drag and drop in nautilus and the it is connected as gphoto and the tags are not copied over. So, for all you Zen users.. how are you trandfering mp3's (with album art!) over to your Zen's?

ASUS eeepc900 Easy Peasy 1.6 (Ubuntu 10.04)
After I boot the 16GB second SSD disk is mounted as HOME on /media This seems to be a default. However there is no entry in /etc/fstab to do this. How does it happen?
I want to move my home directories to be on the 16GB disk so I need it to be mounted on /home rather than where it is by default which is /media/HOME

My motherboard uses nVidia's nForce 570 SLI chipset. It has 2 ethernet ports. I've installed RedHat EL4 update 7 (kernel 2.6.9-78.0.13) and used "up2date" to get the latest package updates. With only 8GB RAM, the ethernet ports function properly. If I add another 8GB RAM, total of 16GB, the ethernet ports no longer function properly. They won't initialize.

I put an SD card in a reader, got all the right signs from the kernel (SCSI device: sda; write-through; etc.)including its 2GB size.
When I try to mount /dev/sda1 I get 'floating point exception' as a response, and it won't mount.
I've never had that message returned from mount, and I can't find any reference to it.

I recently installed Cent-Os on a server and changed the default partitioning to have 2 partitions - 1 main area for everything and a swap partition of 8Gb After installation I cant see the swap as a separate partition although there is a 16GB tempfs mounted as /dev/shm Is this right ?
fdisk -l shows :-
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2 14 17844 143227507+ 8e Linux LVM
(first partition being non-lvm boot)

I just got a eee pc 2g (i know kinda cheap lol) but i cant do nothing on it because of the 2Gb drive and the OS installed on it (there's no support anymore for it), so i want to install ubuntu 10.4 NBR on a 8Gb SDHC card that I have so the question is it can be done? I want to have it installed on the card and be able to boot up from it. I already did the installation and it went smooth a little slow but no errors reported, but when the computer restarts and boots I just get a black screen with a blinking cursor (i have set the BIOS to boot from the SDHC card)

Few weeks ago modified my old mobile phone SE k750i by setting on it w800i firmware. After this my phone isn't really (fully automatically) recognized by Ubuntu (9.10) which is the small problem for me now. Linux recognizes it as a USB device, but doesn't automatically mount it, which is why I have to do that manually and that leads to read only permissions for my user.
Here are the few outputs:
lsusb
Code:
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 046d:c222 Logitech, Inc. G15 Keyboard / LCD

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
dmesg | grep usb .....
I've tried to create a custom udev rule via this thread, by putting the correct information according to lsusb:
Code:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fce", ATTRS{idProduct}=="d028", MODE="0660", OWNER="zivs"
and reloading the udev rules, but that didn't help also.
How could I make my Ubuntu mount the /dev/sdb1 (which is my phone's memory card, since manually mounting it, there's all my phone recorded stuff) automatically on Desktop with all read and write permissions when I connect my phone to computer? Phone gets recognized immediately on Win7 OS ... but after the firmware change it's not really recognized by Ubuntu anymore.
