#!/bin/bash while [ ! -e /dev/mmc* ] do modprobe -rf sdhci sleep 0.5 modprobe -f sdhci sleep 1 done some weeks before and it didn't work either. Loop-reloading sdhci module makes the SD card LED turned on costantly and sometimes even hangs my laptop. Unfortuantely, after several minutes of waiting, what is equal to about a hundred sdhci module reloads, my card was still undetected. I think I have to wait for more elegant and safe solution.
