I had replaced that with a self compiled kernel at that time, but didn't keep the kernel conf. But the more I test, the more I am confused. I have tested six (!) different multi-card readers (those cheap x-in-1 readers that have CF, SD, microSD, MMS, ... slots and usually occupy three or four /dev/sd* devices), and they all cause trouble as described (one even reports write-enabled SD-cards as write-protected). On the other hand, I have tested three card readers made for one particular card type only (SanDisk MicroMate for SD, a no-name SD-Expresscard-USB-Reader and a no-name CF-Expresscard-USB-Reader) that worked well, but only if none of the multi-card readers had been connected since last reboot (or at least that's what it appeared as). Maybe there's some problem with these multicard readers that brings something out of order. regards Hadmut -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
