Default Slack10 and a usb card reader



Good morning

This is a well working slackware 10 with kernel 2.4.26
Out of the box, nearly no problems.

Today i got a little usb-card-reader, which i want to use.
After reboot i saw with lsusb
Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0416:0961 Winbond Electronics Corp. AVL Flash\
Card Reader
Something works, i see.
Now i know there was a thing like scsi generic device.
After google-ling i checked with cat /proc/scs/scsi for
the devices.
But there are only one divice scsi0, because i use
an adaptec uw-scsi hostadapter. I know, there should
be a 2. device namend scsi1 or scsi2.
How is the trick, to get this second generic device.
In the kernel scsi config probing all luns and generic support
is enabled.
What i have done wrong?


Peter

I may sound ignorant of your problem, but have you tried mounting
/dev/sd[X]1?

Well, I don't know about scsi1 or scsi2, but I just got a Kingston CF card
reader working. Here are some details. Maybe it will help. At first
plugging in the reader (Slackware 10) gives:
# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04e6:1010 SCM Microsystems, Inc. USBAT-2
CompactFlash Card Reader

/var/log/messages

Nov 2 12:49:45 kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:04.2-1, assigned address 3
Nov 2 12:49:49 usb.agent[10484]: ... no modules for USB product 4e6/1010/5

/var/log/syslog

Nov 2 12:49:45 kernel: usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x4e6/0x1010) is not
claimed by any active driver.

Okay, so the stock kernel doesn't have a driver for this card.
Search "USBAT-2" with Google and find 'usbat-02.20031116.tar.gz'
at http://usbat2.sourceforge.net/
I followed the INSTALL instructions and I can now read my CF
card by mounting /dev/sda1.

From syslog

Nov 2 13:38:00 kernel: Vendor: SCM Model: SCM USBAT-02 Rev: 0005
Nov 2 13:38:00 kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Nov 2 13:38:00 kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Nov 2 13:38:01 kernel: SCSI device sda: 31297 512-byte hdwr sectors (16 MB)
Nov 2 13:38:01 kernel: sda: Write Protect is off
Nov 2 13:38:01 kernel: sda1

Good luck,
Mike
