I have tried both the LiveCD and doing a dist-upgrade to 8.04 but now I just get:

I've tried an insmod tifm_ms (guessing that module is needed for the memory stick card but get insmod: can't read 'tifm_ms': No such file or directory

I have a Sony Vaio FE31Z with Intrepid and I can't mount the memory stick (I couldn't mount it with any previous Ubuntu version also).

I get the following message:
Aug 20 23:45:37 ubuntu-vaio klogd: [ 1187.114327] tifm_core: MemoryStick card detected in socket 0:0

But nothing else happens.

I believe the specific error first reported in this bug "Unknown symbol tifm_has_ms_pif" has gone with the moves to Hardy, Intrepid, Jaunty. The later tifm messages look like duplicates of #222557.

This is the output of dmesg | tail when inserting and removing the MSpro card.

It doesn't mount automatically and I'm not sure how to mount it manually.

I verified today that kernel 2.6.28-11 supports the MS Pro Duo card reader on my Vaio PCG-7L1L. BUT the module is not provided by default in Jaunty!

I had to pull down the source, add CONFIG_MEMSTICK=m to the config, and build & install the modules myself. After that, volumes mounted automatically. No patches were necessary.

A lot of folks would like to see this module provided by default. This is common hardware and the driver's been around a while. Is it omitted just because it's marked upstream as "experimental," or was this an oversight?

dmesg:
tifm_core: MemoryStick card detected in socket 0:1

Hi pulpo88,
I am sure about your comment and availability of the module in the src. But so far i couldnt succeed in compiling this module from source. Can you please help us achieve what you have achieved. A small write up will be of great help.

I am able to get the src and modify .config...Also tried make menuconfig to identify and enable Sony Memory Card Support. But make gives me following error

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `kernel/bounds.c', needed by `kernel/bounds.s'. Stop.
make: *** [prepare0] Error 2

Thanks in advance

To build the kernel I just followed the process detailed here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile

Basically:
sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-`uname -r`
sudo apt-get source linux-image-`uname -r`
add CONFIG_MEMSTICK=m to debian/config/i386/config
AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 skipabi=true fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic

Then I copied the newly-built modules from kernel/drivers/memstick to /lib/modules/...

I did not use the make command at all, though I suppose that method should work as well.
