I've seen a whole lot of guides that detail getting external USB card readers working, but haven't found anything about internal built-in ones... I just got a Fujitsu P7010D, it has a ton of internal card readers, a compact flash one, a secure digital one, and a memory stick one... the compact flash card reader is the one I'd like to get working. I think it uses a yenta bridge, which is the same as the PCMCIA slot uses (I haven't even attempted to get that working... and although I do have a PCMCIA flash card adapter, I'd like to just have the internal thing working.)

Any hits as to where to start? cardmgr runs on start up and does something like ./ide /dev/hde... but it doesn't seem to do anything in the way of mounting the flash card.

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-53537.html I followed these instructions, but like I said, these seems to be for an external USB reader and not an internal one that I assume to be using PCMCIA.

Any help would be appreciated.

The card reader mostly likely does not use a bridge to PCMCIA. run lspci -v and see how it is connected. lspci -v will also what kind it is. If it turns out to be a Texas Instruments your out of luck those don't work with linux currently. If it is a supported reader you will need to add support for it in the kernel if you have not already.
Code:
Device Drivers --->
   MMC/SD Card support --->
      <*> MMC support

If you've already built your kernel with support for MMC/SD card readers then your probably out of luck with getting it to work.
