New Gentoo install. I've had other distros on this computer without this problem. It doesn't seem to recognize my SD card reader. I think the relevant device is:

lspci -v -nn -->
...
Code:
00:14.7 SD Host controller [0805]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] FCH SD Fl$
        Subsystem: Dell FCH SD Flash Controller [1028:067e]
        Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 39, IRQ 16
        Memory at f0b4c000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
        Kernel driver in use: sdhci-pci
        Kernel modules: sdhci_pci

...

I ran a program that looks for event activity and something happens when I plug a card in, but I don't see anything in /dev that I could try to mount. I think one distro listed it as a /dev/sd_ and another something like /dev/mmc but I don't remember exactly. I've tried about everything I could find on the web but am out of ideas.

Did you see this thread?

The advice that leaped out at me was to compile all the mmc drivers as modules and try them one by one. I also thought it interesting that the device wasn't identified correctly.

What are blkid and lsblk telling about?

No, duane, I missed that one. That looks just like my situation as lsusb lists a rts5129 so I'll add that module and see what happens. Thanks!

Adding rtsx_usb and rtsx_usb_sdmmc seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks!
