Ricoh e822 SD-Card reader doesn't work

[Dominik]

I got a Dell E6410 with a built in SD-Card reader. This reader doesn't work on my current up to date Ubuntu 10.10

I have the same problem after updating from 10.04 to 10.10 on HP dv6544eo. The card mounts properly but the data is corrrupt.

I don't think that this is the same Bug, you neither got the same Controler, nor the same machine. Also the Bug was there on 10.04 for me, I tested that. Perhaps you want to open another report and also provide a dmesg log.

[Jeremy Foshee (jeremyfoshee)]

Hi Dominik,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 660088

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

I downloaded the 'linux-image-2.6.36-999-generic_2.6.36-999.201010180905_amd64.deb' from the MainlineBuilds and installed it. I got a uname of '2.6.36-999-generic #201010180905 SMP Mon Oct 18 09:09:44 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux'. With this kernel, everything works regarding the SD-Card-Reader.

What should I test further, please tell me how I can help to get this bugfix into Ubuntu stable asap.

With last update :
$ uname -a
Linux stef 2.6.35-22-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 20:45:36 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I know have this errors in dmesg
mmc0: ADMA error
mmc0: error -5 whilst initialising SD card

If I follow recommendations given in bug 605043 (removing adma) then sd card reader works fine
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/605043

specificaly by adding a new conf file in /etc/modprobe.d with this line :
options sdhci debug_quirks=0x40

Then rmmod sdhci_pci and rmmod sdhci
and then modprobe sdhci

that makes the sd reader working immediately

I was having the same error of:
mmc0: ADMA error
mmc0: error -5 whilst initializing SD card

SD Host controller: O2 Micro, Inc. Device 8120 (rev 01)
Toshiba x505-886

Doing the above work around solved my issue the only thing I had to do after modprobe sdhci was then also to modprobe sdhci_pci and now works. Though have not rebooted but I am sure will continue. Will report back if not.

[JL (vwyodapink)]

For some reason for mine its not staying in the reboot just realized that. :P But works until then. So maybe not totally related bugs.

to make the patch persistent you need to update your initramfs to make your config change apply to the module which is loaded during boot:

sudo update-initramfs -u
