Hello all, I have had my Dell Dimension 5200 DM061 PC for about 3 years now. It has a built in multiple card reader that takes SD cards and others. In the entire time I have had the PC I have never even tried to use the card reader. Yesterday I got my Raspberry Pi (yipee!) and the first thing I needed to do was to flash an OS image onto the SD card. OK - So I popped the card into the card reader slot and waited for something to happen. This is a Fedora 16 box. I have no other OS installed (the pre-installed Windows Vista got blown away long ago). Nothing happened.... (a green light went on in the card reader bay, but no response on the screen). So then I did what all good Linuxites do - I looked a dmesg. Nothing. So then I ran a "tail -f /var/log/messages" and removed and re-inserted the SD card into the slot. Still nothing. So then I looked at lspci (see below). I may be wrong but I can't see anything which might be a card reader listed there. It's as if I don't actually have a card reader. I am really disappointed. I have become so used to things just working (nowadays anyway) and being smug with my Windows-loving colleagues when I tell them that I can do anything with my Linux box. I really had my tail between my legs when I had to admit that I needed to fire up my work laptop with Windows7 (which also has a built-in SD card reader) and flash the card from that! What can I do? Am I missing a driver or a kernel module or something? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions...
