[Latitude XT3] SD/Firewire devices not detected by o2micro controller

[Marc Legris]

Attaching an SD card or a firewire device onto this system does not expect in the normal behavior of automounting the device. Instead no apparent action is taken by the system, and nothing is shown in dmesg.

Marc, please test Ubuntu-2.6.38-12 to see if you can reproduce the problem.

The patch[1] just entered Ubuntu-2.6.38-12-51 two days ago.

[1], UBUNTU: SAUCE: fireware: add NO_MSI quirks for o2micro controller

[Ming Lei (tom-leiming)]

Marc, could you test the previous uploaded image below to see if it can fix the bug?

        http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~ming/bugs/801719/linux-2.6.38-11.i386.tar.gz

If still not, please post the 'dmesg' result from the kernel above link.

thanks,

Ming, Installing the kernel in comment #3 resolves the issue with both the sd card and firewire.
