Mounting SDXC Cards unreliable

[dolfyn]

Ubuntu 16.04 Lenovo Y700 laptop

Using Sandisk SDXC Cards (camera/pictures) works for one card (mounts) but not for the other (does not mount). Cars and built-in reader works without any problems in this other (obviously) popular OS.

Conclusion: both cards are OK, the reader is OK.

The mounting card:

[94183.755973] mmc0: new ultra high speed DDR50 SDXC card at address aaaa
[94183.756646] mmcblk0: mmc0:aaaa SL64G 59.5 GiB
[94183.770742] mmcblk0: p1
udisksd[3993]: Mounted /dev/mmcblk0p1 at /media/xxx/6337-6134 on behalf of uid 1000
.

.
udisksd[3993]: Cleaning up mount point /media/xxx/6337-6134 (device 179:1 is not mounted)
udisksd[3993]: Unmounted /dev/mmcblk0p1 on behalf of uid 1000
[94251.132197] mmc0: card aaaa removed

The failing card (does not fail when running under an alternative OS):

[94804.132020] sdhci: Timeout waiting for Buffer Read Ready interrupt during tuning procedure, falling back to fixed sampling clock
[94804.132100] mmc0: tuning execution failed
[94804.132111] mmc0: error -5 whilst initialising SD card

Curious...

dolfyn, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

In order to allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue, at your earliest convenience, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D ? Please keep in mind the following:
1) The one to test is at the very top line at the top of the page (not the daily folder).
2) The release names are irrelevant.
3) The folder time stamps aren't indicative of when the kernel actually was released upstream.
4) Install instructions are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds .

If testing on your main install would be inconvenient, one may:
1) Install Ubuntu to a different partition and then test this there.
2) Backup, or clone the primary install.

If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this issue is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Where X, and Y are the first two numbers of the kernel version, and Z is the release candidate number if it exists.

If the mainline kernel does not fix the issue, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of kernel-bug-exists-upstream.

Also, you don't need to apport-collect further unless specifically requested to do so.

It is most helpful that after testing of the latest upstream kernel is complete, you mark this report Status Confirmed.

Lastly, to keep this issue relevant to upstream, please continue to test the latest mainline kernel as it becomes available.

Thank you for your help.

Will wait till a build for amd64 succeeds

Christopher,

Sorry, same thing. One SDXC card mounts the other does not mount.

Best regards

[penalvch (penalvch)]

dolfyn, to clarify, what is the full manufacturer and model of the working, and non-working card?

[dolfyn (hwkrus)]

Both are 64GB Sandisk SDXC Cards. Same model/type.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

dolfyn, as per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/Laptops-and-netbooks/IdeaPad-Y-Series-laptops/y700-15isk?tabName=Downloads&linkTrack=Mast:SubNav:Support:Drivers%20and%20Software|Drivers%20and%20Software&beta=false an update to your computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is available (CDCN52WW). When you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate how does this improve the situation?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette .

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

Also, you don't have to create a new report.

It is most helpful that after the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on how this improves the situation.
3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed.

If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your help.

[dolfyn (hwkrus)]

Christopher,

Just for my clarification before updating anything. The BIOS is the
same/shared in Linux and W10? If so, then I cannot see why this will help
as there is no difference between the cards
​ when running under W10.​

Thanks in advance!
