Strange SD Card Issue

[Frank Tanner III]

I am having a strange issue where when I plug in an SD or an SDHC card
into my laptop it gets recognized in /var/log/messages, but it refuses
to mount.  There seems to be some info on this issue, but it all points
to the user being in the AVAHI group.  I've done that and it still seems
to be having an issue.

Has anyone seen this issue and resolved it in another manner?  My
hardware, OS, and /var/log/messages information is below.  Any
assistance that you can give me would be greatly appreciated.


Hardware:
Acer 8943G
i7 8-Core
16GB RAM

OS: Fedora 14 x64 - 2.6.35.12-90.fc14.x86_64

/var/log/messages info:
May  9 09:19:28 8943G kernel: [ 1543.474144] mmc0: ADMA error
May  9 09:19:28 8943G kernel: [ 1543.474223] mmc0: error -5 whilst
initialising SD card



Thank you.

One of the Live CDs?  (Boot the computer from a CD, and run it from the
CD, no installation required.)

I tried multiple readers.  The card reads fine.  It also reads fine if I
leave it in the camera and treat the camera as if it were a drive.  I
suspect that it is a driver issue.  Unfortunately, I can't think of a
way to test that at the moment since I don't want to reload this box
with Windows to test that theory.

Have you tried doing it with mount from a terminal and watch the logs
for any errors? It should reveal what's failing.

Have you tried the cards in a different card reader? It's quite
possible you have a bad reader, bad cards, or a driver bug. You should
also probably try booting with a different kernel version (perhaps
give it a go on an F15 live image).

Good luck.
