I have a Lenovo R61 laptop which has a built-in SD card slot. The
operating system is Lenny.
Ever since I bought this laptop in May 2008 I have been able to
mount in it SDHC cards from my Canon 60D digital camera. The
relevant line in fstab is and has always been:
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/sd vfat user,noauto,noatime
0 0
If you're using a DE, I would let it to mount external devices
automatically, that is, by commenting (#) the above line
in /etc/fstab. Then, as soon as you attache the card it should be
recognized, detected and mounted under /media.
I did as you suggested -- commented out that line in fstab -- and
inserted the card. It was not recognized, detected or mounted under
media. The DE I am using is KDE 3.5.10.
Within the last three hours however -- through no conscious
intervention on my part -- I have been unable to mount an SDHC card
installed in this slot. The command "mount sd" returns the
following:
mount: special device /dev/mmcblk0p1 does not exist
And it may be true. Run "/sbin/blkid".
It is true; I had already discovered that that device does not now
exist, although it must have existed more than three hours ago.
I will consequently be grateful for advice to help me find out what
is wrong and how to fix it.
Open a terminal, run "dmesg | tail" and then insert the card to see
what's going on.
I ran that "dmesg|tail" both before and after installing the SDHC card
On all occasions that command reported nothing.
