[SOLVED] Rioch SDXC/MMC PCIe reader not detecting sd cards

I have a Thinkpad T430s dual booting Windows 10 and Arch linux. When I run lspci the reader shows up, however, when inserting an SD card it doesn't detect it in lsblk and dmesg doesn't give any clues. This same card works fine in Windows.

> lspci -nnk
...

I would like to note I had a similar problem in Debian 9 however I don't remember the fix and am unable to find one that works in arch as the most relevant option was an AUR package however it has been transferred to the archives and no longer works.

Re: [SOLVED] Rioch SDXC/MMC PCIe reader not detecting sd cards

I am closing this now as it turns out it was a bad micro SD card adaptor
