SD photo card no longer automounts

[none]

I'm running Edgy on AMD64 and since a few weeks ago, my SD card no longer automounts. However, I can still mount it manually and read the files on the card.

Running "gnome-volume-manager --no-daemon" and inserting the card into the card reader on my laptop shows

manager.c/3657: gvm_user_active_at_console: check-foreground-console returned with 0
manager.c/2814: Device added: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_104c_8034_mmc_host_mmc_host_mmc_host_mmc_card_rca43356

Doesn't automount here either, and I cannot mount it manually. It does not appear in /dev at all. On running the same command, I get "** (gnome-volume-manager:5358): WARNING **: manager.c/3756: already running".

"ls /dev/mmc*" after inserting the card doesn't print anything? What about "lspci -n |grep 0805" ? If the latter command doesn't show anything, the SDHCI driver for the card reader won't work with your hardware.

The "already running" error that you got is because g-v-m is already running in the background. Try doing "killall gnome-volume-manager" first.

Just tried downgrading to the g-v-m from Dapper and it still doesn't work, so the problem is probably elsewhere. Maybe hal or udev.

Upgrading to the very latest udev fixed the problem for me. Closing bug.

After switching to the 2.6.17-7 kernel, the card has stopped automounting again, but otherwise works fine. I think this is because this kernel uses the tifm21 driver, instead of the sdhci driver, which makes udev not recognize the card.

Reopening and reassigning to udev.

Please run "sudo udevmonitor -e" and then plug in the SD photo card.

(Note this is almost certainly not a udev bug, but maybe a kernel bug)

Also where did you get the "tifm21 driver" ? That's not shipped with our kernels. Can you run "modinfo tifm21" for me

Sorry, the modules are named tifm_core and tifm_sd, they're included in the standard Ubuntu kernel. The output from udevmonitor when plugging in the card is included below.

# udevmonitor -e
udevmonitor prints the received event from the kernel [UEVENT]
and the event which udev sends out after rule processing [UDEV]

Card automounting works in Edgy release. Closing bug.
