1180:e823 MMC Card Reader not working

[Pete Graner]

Inserted server know good mmc cards and nothing shows in dmesg.

Doing a lspci shows the card reader:

Hi Pete,

Was this card reader working in Precise? Could you test the latest mainline kernel[0] to see if the bug also exists upstream?

Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem (on a Lenovo Thinkpad T430s).
I have tried with 3.6.0 upstream kernel.

franck@T430S:~$ uname -a
Linux T430S 3.6.0-030600-generic #201209302035 SMP Mon Oct 1 00:36:01 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The problem is still here, that is nothing seems to happen when :
- inserting a card in the card reader
- or even pluging out the card reader itself from its PCIe

At least tail -f /var/log/syslog gives no output...

In fact, unplugging the card reader has an effect: revision number changes.

With card reader inserted, lspci gives:

04:00.0 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd PCIe SDXC/MMC Host Controller (rev 04)

With card reader ejected, lspci gives:
04:00.0 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd PCIe SDXC/MMC Host Controller (rev ff)

Maybe this is the standard behaviour ?

@Frank

Can you open a new separate bug for your issue?

[Franck (alci)]

@Joseph: yes, I can. That said, I don't see how my problem is different (nothing shows in dmsg when inserting a card), can you tell me please ? Thanks in advance.

[Franck (alci)]

Hi. I won't open a new bug report, as my problem finally was with the card, not the reader. Another card worked just fine... Sorry for the noise... (FYI I opened, and closed as invalid, a bug report on kernel's bugzilla. Double noise...)
