kernel Panic on HP Pavilion when using sd card

arcreactor · 2008-09-03 11:24:53

finally, my first topic

i'm running arch 64 on a hp pavilion dv6601ax (referred to as ether dv6000 or dv6500 on the hp website) and whenever i insert a card larger than one gig, it either refuses to notice the card or i get a kernel panic and a very large back-trace which i cant understand.

i have googled for a solution but the best i could find was a small patch for the driver, which was a very bad hack (that didn't work anyway).

anyone have any ideas? i'm out, and i cant keep rebooting into windows just so i can access the card

and before anyone suggests it, buying an external controller isn't really an option.

relevant infomation:

and i found this in dmesg, it may be relevant

Hmmm...I've got the hp 6057cl with very similar hardware, also running Arch64, but w/ no problems!

That's probably not very helpful Have you tried other SD cards? With earlier kernels (like about more than about a year or so ago) I used to have to boot this machine with 'noapic irqfixup' in order to have the flash reader and USB ports active.

Just some thoughts.....

Good luck!

adding noapic irqfixup files read write for 1gb cards, but 2gb cards still causes a kernel panic
at least i can use the 1gb

I'll keep looking around, i might try that patch again

kernel 2.6.27 solved the problem.
