Reverting kernel to 4.8.17-040817-generic fixes the problem. sdhci-pci module flags bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18 set and works.

Later kernels omit the bus master and latency 0 flags and for me are broken.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.15 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

[Dana Tousley (danatousley)]

Tested 4.15-rc7 and no difference - card is still not recognized.

[Dana Tousley (danatousley)]

kernel-bug-exists-upstream tag added

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

This issue appears to be an upstream bug, since you tested the latest upstream kernel. Would it be possible for you to open an upstream bug report[0]? That will allow the upstream Developers to examine the issue, and may provide a quicker resolution to the bug.

Please follow the instructions on the wiki page[0]. The first step is to email the appropriate mailing list. If no response is received, then a bug may be opened on bugzilla.kernel.org.

Once this bug is reported upstream, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-reported-upstream'.

Am I correct in finding the proper mailing list (haven't sent mail yet)?
I send a plain text email to here containing the data required in the link? Grr - I don't have or need email setup on this computer.

[Eric Joseph (echos-dad)]

I can confirm this. Numerous attempts of different versions 16.04 and up, no read write or detection of sd card.

[Andrew Conley (atconley)]

I (believe that I) am having the same issue (on the same computer) running a fresh install of 17.10. The returns I receive from the commands listed in the Bug Description are substantively identical.

[Andrew Conley (atconley)]

Also: I have kernel 4.13.0-37-generic.

[Dana Tousley (danatousley)]

Do I need to do any more in the reporting?

microSD workshop for me only with Linuxmint mate 17.# either live or installed with 4.4 kernrl. Instead mint mate 18.# or 19.# doesn't work.

[Andrew Conley (atconley)]

FYI: I tried using my SD card again after a fresh install of Ubuntu 19.04 (kernel 5.0.0-13-generic) and my SD card (SD Host controller: O2 Micro, Inc. SD/MMC Card Reader Controller (rev 01)) now works properly. I have a ThinkPad E580.

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

Hello,
As kernel 4.10 is no longer supported, can you give the latest supported kernel a try to see if this issue still exist?
Thanks!

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

[Expired for linux-hwe (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

[Dana Tousley (danatousley)]

That's one way to end an issue. Yes the issue still exsits. It has birthdays. I never saw that someone asked for verification 60 days ago.

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

Hi Dana,
if you're still seeing this issue with a newer (supported) kernel, please open a new bug with "ubuntu-bug linux" command in a terminal (ctrl + alt + t)

Thanks!

[Dana Tousley (danatousley)]

Coincidentally I reimaged that laptop back to Windows yesterday. Yes the bug still existed, but I gave up after a couple of years.

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

OK, thanks for the info.
I　will just close this one, please feel free to open a new issue if you are seeing this again.
