SD card not mounted

[Wolf Rogner]

Ubuntu 18.04 after fresh install:
HW: Macbook Pro Retina 13"

SD cards are not recognized nor mounted.

The sdhci driver is not loaded by default.
Manual loading of sdhci and sdhci-pci does not make the SD card mount or be recognized (loading the driver is acknowledged in the syslog)

Adding a configuration file under /etc/modprobe.d with

   options sdhci debug_quirks2=4

does not remedy the situation.

(the cards and adapters tested work fine on other - older - Macs)

Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.16 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.

I can hardly answer this question.

I got a new notebook and installed 17.10 (beta) on it. I could use the SD card initially.
Then after official launch, all external devices caused system hangs during mount.

After a restart, the SD card could be mounted as sdc

With 18.04 the device drivers (sdhci and sdhci-pci) are not loaded and the device does not get recognized.

Even when loading the modules the medium does not get mounted.

As this is my production machine and I am using it heavily this semester I am rather reluctant to experimenting with different kernels (I am not sure but the disability to mount harddisks after suspend to RAM came in at the same time as I installed a premature kernel).
