I have an Internal 4-in-1 card reader, I though it didn't recognized it but I did tail -s 3 -f /var/log/everything/current and when I modprobe usb-storage this comes out:

Code:

Oct 19 11:06:03 [kernel] Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
Oct 19 11:06:03 [kernel] scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Oct 19 11:06:03 [kernel]   Vendor: Generic   Model: Flash R/W         Rev: 2002
Oct 19 11:06:03 [kernel] Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0


so I know it does recognize it (at least I think so) but I"m not sure what the device is located? I'm hoping someone could tell me how figure this out, or if this is enough information to know. I'm thinking something like /dev/sda... or /dev/scsi/... not sure. Thanks.

Ok, so its in /dev/sda now when I try to mount that like this:
Code:

mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/card
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
       or too many mounted file systems


and when I do this:
Code:

mount -t usbfs /dev/sda /mnt/card


it mounts but when I ls or go into /mnt/card there is nothing usefull only folders: 001 002 003 004 and unknown file: devices. Inside those folders are only more unknown files 001 or 002 or ... does anyone know what filesystem type is a card reader, Its a 4in1 card reader I'm trying to get the SD to work. Thanks.

I think I know what 001, 002, 003, 004 mean now, I have a 4in1 card reader rigth, so I'm thinking that 001 goes for one of the 4 (Flash, SD, SM...) and 002 for another and so on. So I think it does detect it right but I just don't know how I would mount /dev/sda if 001 is inside sda? Can anyone help me?

drop the usbfs idea, its not what you are thinking.

after you try mounting /dev/sda (as vfat) then try /dev/sda1 immediately after, see if that helps

With my 4 in 1 I had to mount /dev/sda# for each slot. It shows as 1 device with 4 LUNs (that right?) to Linux, so you have to figure out which slot = what #.

It just keeps saying:
Code:

bash-2.05b# mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/card
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
       or too many mounted file systems
bash-2.05b# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/card
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
       or too many mounted file systems

I have no Idea why this is not working, could it be a possibility that my vfat fs is not working correctly or something, I've been all over google and I have everything loaded that I need (I Hope) and nothing...I know it works under linux, it use to work when I had Fedora 2 installed. Please I would really want this to work. Thanks.

Oh, I just discovered than when I try to mount my reader with no media inside this comes out:
Code:

bash-2.05b# mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/card
mount: No medium found

Could it be possible that I just need to reformat my sd card?
