 Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2005 3:03 pm Post subject: Memory stick duo |
 |
|
Hi all. I've been trying to use a memory stick duo witha card reader under linux. I made it some time ago under windows (with some drivers), with the same card reader, but under linux it is a problem. I've been able to use a usb camera and other memory stick under linux with the same card reader, but it seems that this memory stick is different. Maybe it needs some drivers which linux doesn't have? The card reader is used by my cell sony ericsson to store data, so maybe it needs driver by sony?
Thanks. |

What modules or options do you have compiled into the kernel for usb and scsi? It might be the case that you only need to add an additional module to get everything to work.

I followed a guide I found on the internet (I can't find it anymore  ), but nothing happened. Maybe you can tell me what modules I have to compile with the kernel, or a guide that explain it?
I haven't inserted anything about scsi, maybe thay could be the problem?
Thanks. |

Usb storage traditionally relies upon scsi emulation, and in turn, scsi hard drive support. If you look in the SCSI and USB subsections in the kernel config, you should be able to see if you've enabled it or not. I suspect that you probably added USB storage, but you might have forgotten to include the SCSI support it relies on. What modules do you currently have loaded when you insert the device? (Check with /sbin/lsmod after waiting a few seconds for it to show up in dmesg.)

This is very likely .

Ok, I inserted the device and waited a few seconds as you said. The output of the command is:

I report the whole response cause I don't want to miss something (I'm new to this things).
Do you think there's something missing? I don't see the scsi module.
Thanks for your help. |

| Well, I ran genkernel --menuconfig all and I saw that some scsi modules are selected. The problem is that I don't know what I should check in particular, there are too many items. |

You'll need scsi emulation and either scsi hard drive support or scsi generic support, depending on the type of device. You might even need both. Unless they're built in to your kernel (not modules), you don't have any of them.

I checked and, except "scsi emulation" everything is built in. I can't find this scsi emulation. Where can I find it? The device still doesn't work. Any idea of why?
Thanks. |

SCSI emulation is either under SCSI or under the section where you enable support for your ATA/IDE devices. I'm sorry I can't be more precise, since I don't have any way to check from work. If you can't find it by the time I get home from work, I'll dig it out for you.

OK, great! Found, under ATA/ATAPI etc..., but it is already built in. This wasn't the problem. Maybe something else is missing?
Thanks. |

I admit I'm baffled. I only have SCSI generic support, SCSI hard drive support, SCSI emulation and USB storage, and I have gotten both a USB keychain drive and a USB hard drive to work without a problem. I have everything compiled as modules, but I wouldn't know if that makes a difference in this case (sometimes it does, such as in ALSA support).

The fact is that I have already used some cards witht he usb card reader, and everyone has worked correctly. This is the only one which isn't working. Is it possible that this particular key needs some drivers which I don't have? Windows needed those drivers.
Thanks anyway. |
