[SOLVED] MSI Wind card reader -- no filesystems detected on devices

Had this issue since I bought my netbook (MSI Wind U120) several months ago.

At first I could not mount memory cards until I rebooted the netbook--now card filesystems aren't being detected at all. The card reader itself appears as /dev/sdb at all times, regardless of whether a card is present. Inserting a card results in...nothing. No dmesg updates, no filesystems listed under /dev/sdb*, nothing.

My Nokia E71 smartphone is experiencing similar behaviour.

Solution: The devices can be mounted directly via /dev/sdx (vs. /dev/sdb1, etc.)

Can't help you with the memory card thing, but my Nokia 5800 shows up as /dev/sdb - with no numbers - but it works fine i.e. I just mount /dev/sdb and everything's there.

Also.. would you two get a room ffs?

Hah! Wouldn't you know it, it does mount with /dev/sdb! I never would have thought to try that.

And *ahem* times being what they are we can't really afford a room =]
