SD Card reader, HP/Compaq latptop
United States	2007-07-05 07:12:00
I have a Compaq R4000 laptop, with a multifunction Card Reader in it (SD/MMC/SM, etc). The documentation for this is kinda lacking, so I'm asking the list, has anyone got one of these buggers working in Gentoo? -- Recedite, plebes! Gero rem imperialem!

The driver is broken in the 2.6.19 and 2.6.20. Which kernel are you using? Now I'm using 2.6.21 When I was using a 2.6.18 it needed some tweaking, I used 'setpci -s 02: 06.2 4c.b=029; in my local.start Good luck! -- Recedite, plebes! Gero rem imperialem!

Yeah it's a TI, and i"m running 2.6.21-gentoo-r3 right now. So how do I set it up? I can't find any reasonable documentation on it. -- Recedite, plebes! Gero rem imperialem!

With the 2.6.21 I don't need any tweak, at least for me. First configure the kernel # cd /usr/src/linux # make menuconfig Under Device Drivers I have MMC Support selected, MMC block device driver and Secure Digital Host Controller Inferface Support as well. Then TI Flash Media as module. If you are first selecting this option you'll have to reboot with the new kernel. If not you can compile and load the module tifm_sd. After modprobing you can run update-modules to have that module loaded always. # make && make modules_install # cp arch/'YOUR ARCH'/boot/bzImage /boot/';YOUR KERNEL'; # reboot (not needed depending on what you had on your previous kernel) # modprobe tifm_sd # update-modules The device will be named /dev/mmcblk0, /dev/mmcblk0p1 for firt partition and so on. Now mount, you'll need vfat fs support.

The problem I had was that I was compiling mmc_core and mmc_blk(?) as modules and they wouldn't load that way. Once I built them into the kernel and left tifm_sd, etc. as modules they all played nice and now I can use my SD card. Thanks for the help. -- Recedite, plebes! Gero rem imperialem!

Once I built them into the kernel and left tifm_sd, etc. as modules they all played nice and now I can use my SD card. you can also build them as modules, and then add them as 2 lines in /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6 file and they will be loaded at the top of start of local and imedeately after the start of boot services.... this is a way of loading modules that udev will not load by default and that you still want to load at boot....
