SD Card Reader not detecting

Anony324 · 2024-07-14 02:49:55

I have a HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop-dk1xxx running Kernel: 6.6.38-1-lts

My laptop does recognize my card reader:

This is the dmesg

and it does not get detected in my lsblk and fdisk

@cryptearth its another issue both are different

Lone_Wolf · 2024-07-14 11:38:55

Anony324, please make clear that this is a different issue .

One way to do that is to insert a working sd-card of a standard type and well-known brand.
Then post the output of lsblk -f, fdisk and dmesg -T | tail -n 200 .
(run the last 2 as root)

In theory AER corrected errors should not have bad results, and the address is not that of the alcor device.
In practice however AER data link layer errors very often indicate low level communinication problems .

Try appending this kernel parameter pcie_aspm=off to your bootcommand line .
(how to do that depends on your chosen bootloader )

Have you already tried the non-lts kernel?

Anony324 · 2024-07-18 01:30:11

Even after changing to pcie_aspm=off, my SD card reader is not detecting.

This is my output from cat /proc/cmdline:

BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-linux-lts root=UUID=76527ae0-fc0b-4fdb-80f6-803d183081d7 rw rootflags=subvol=@ zswap.enabled=0 rootfstype=btrfs loglevel=3 quiet nvidia-drm.modeset=1 pcie_aspm=off

This is my dmesg:

seth · 2024-07-18 06:20:55

As pointed out in #7, your system doesn't support aspm anyway and the error/problem is/was somewhat common w/ that hardware.
Did you try the non-lts kernel?

Lone_Wolf · 2024-07-18 08:02:03

There heve been enough examples where disabling pcie_aspm explicitly has a different (better) effect then acpi trying to auto-disable it.
In my opnion it was worth a try.

Added:

Anony324, are you using latest firmware for the laptop ?

Kernel Versions

Here are the kernel versions along with their respective dmesg:

[    0.000000] DMI: HP HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-dk1xxx/8742, BIOS F.43 12/16/2022

https://support.hp.com/gb-en/drivers/hp … s/32885566

You'll have to check against the exact model of your laptop, but it does look like there's a later firmware.
Do you still have windows installed ?

Anony324 · 2024-07-20 05:38:10

I guess the latest version of the BIOS is F.47 Rev.A

This is my laptop - 15-dk1514TX

I don't have Windows installed right now.

seth · 2024-07-20 07:00:09

The driver wants to deactivate the APM but can't because it's not handed to the OS and it's waiting for interrupts that won't appear.

1. Lie. Maybe the firmeware is more gentle when it believes to run windows.

acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2022"

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windo … inacpi-osi

2. disable MSI

pci=nomsi pcie_pme=nomsi

3. Assuming this triggers a bad code path in the driver, you could try "pcie_aspm=force" - I'm not putting that in code tags because nb.

The kernel docs wrote:

WARNING: Forcing ASPM on may cause system lockups.

this is somewhat dicy and idk whether you could end up bricking the HW (resp. having to flash the BIOS in HW)

Anony324 · 2024-08-05 13:32:26

Hey sorry for late reply had some health issue's

Tried doing this

acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2022"

No idea why my trackpad was not working had to use external mouse only

and disable of MSI also does not work

So should i do the pcie_aspm=force
