 Posted: Fri Apr 25, 2003 6:42 pm Post subject: Sony Vaio Memory Stick Reader Working |
 |
|
 After much distress and inability to find a posting that dealt with my issue I figured this out. 
My memory stick slot was never recognized. I had scsi_mod, sd_mod, sg_mod, and usb_storage all compiled as modules and loaded. But I never had a /dev/sda1 show up.
 Turns out that the modules are loading in the wrong order or somthing. I rmmoded usb_storage and sd_mod and scsi_mod, them modprobeed usb-storage and sd-mod. and voila! I have /dev/sda1 now.
I hope this helps someone!

Manufacturer: Sony
Speed: 12Mb/s (full)

I have this device on my VAIO SRX87 notebook, and only newer kernel sources recognize this device.
With older kernels, I needed to add this by hand to /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h :
| Code: | UNUSUAL_DEV( 0x054c, 0x0069, 0x0000, 0x9999,
"Sony",
"Memorystick MSC-U03",
US_SC_UFI, US_PR_CB, NULL,
US_FL_SINGLE_LUN | US_FL_START_STOP ), |
Then recompile usb-storage.o (or the whole kernel) |

Ok Nice posts. Got my memory stick reader working by doing both. Modifying the header file allowed usb-storage to identify the device correctly but not until I loaded sd_mod FIRST did I get an sda1 device in /dev.
I have a Sony Vaio PCG-R505GC and a 128meg memory stick. Running an acpi patched 2.4.20 kernel.
Ciao.  |

| 2.6x kernels handle memory sticks nicely. If anyone else cares. |

On my Sony V505-BL Laptop, I needed to switch from UHCI to OHCI in the USB Device Driver section to get this working.
