yes, as others indicated, 'dmesg' will tell you why. Let me guess, the reader doesn't support SDHC (since it's several years old) but your are inserting a SDHC card? Try inserting a SD card which is less than 2G first and see what you get. -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
