I also have an external Alcor card reader. It has the exact same vendor and device IDs as the internal reader, yet it works, while the internal reader does not. Furthermore, the usb-storage module is only loaded when the reader is plugged in; if the reader is already plugged in during boot, then usb-storage is not loaded. My understanding is that the usb-storage problem is not specific to the Alcor card reader.
If I manually load the usb-storage module or cause it to be loaded by connecting the external reader, then if I insert a card into the internal Alcor reader and attempt to do something with it (like fdisk -l /dev/sdc), then I get this: [ 499.916536] usb 2-3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 [ 510.160550] usb 2-3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 [ 526.404534] usb 2-3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 [ 526.652527] usb 2-3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 [ 536.896534] usb 2-3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 [ 537.035296] sd 8:0:0:0: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery Again, the external reader works perfectly. I only have this problem with the internal reader. -- kernel 2.6.28 from 2.6.27 prevents Alcor reader working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/372232 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
