[SOLVED] Card reader in Acer Aspire 5670

Xi0N · 2009-02-08 21:44:06

I have an Acer Aspire 5670 Laptop in which the card reader was working under ubuntu (as far as i can remember), but i cannot get it to work under arch.
iAs the wiki pages does not have any article related to this model, and trying with symilar model wikis is not getting me anywhere, i need your help, at least to tell me where to start from.

Thanks!!

What's the output of lspci? I'm using Acer Aspire 5720ZG and sdricoh from AUR works for me.

The output of lspci is:

0a:09.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Cardbus Controller
0a:09.1 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments PCIxx12 OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller
0a:09.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD)

Try this:

sudo modprobe tifm_7xx1
sudo modprobe tifm_core
sudo modprobe tifm_sd

Then insert a memory card and it should be mounted automatically. If it works just add these modules in rc.conf file.

Thanks for your help, but it did not work

Is there any output in dmesg after inserting the memory card in the slot?

Xi0N · 2009-02-09 20:59:45

I have this messages:

tifm_core: MMC/SD card detected in socket 0:1
mmc0: new SD card at address 0002
mmcblk0: mmc0:0002       3.67 GiB 
 mmcblk0:
mmcblk0: error -110 transferring data
end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 7700352
Buffer I/O error on device mmcblk0, logical block 962544

This is what i get. The card is not formatted, but i use gparted for viewing graphically the devices buut this card (4Gb) does not show up...

Please, a bit more help.. i think we are close!!!

It looks like tifm modules are already loaded and the card is recognized. Have you tried other cards? Maybe something already formatted and smaller?

Xi0N · 2009-02-09 22:40:46

Weird... i formatted it in another computer and now it seems to work as well on my laptop.

Thanks!!!
