Thanks for the reply Alan!
Yeah I kinda figured it wouldnt be as easy as a problem with a USB adapter I
bought last night (SanDisk SDDR-103) that doesnt seem to detect the Write
Protect flag correctly. I had to change the source in 2.6.15.4 that I upgraded
to this week to ignore that bit. I thought that used to be a kernel option?
There was for a while a kernel option to avoid checking the write-protect
bit altogether, because some devices didn't seem to like it. That problem
hasn't been bothering people, so the option was removed.
Are you saying that the SDDR-103 reports the write-protect setting
wrongly, or that Linux interprets the reported value wrongly?
yuppers Alan! Just google it. I aint the only one. Someone suggested timing
the insertion of the SanDisk card (and it only happens with SD cards it seems).
Timing the insertion from 2 to 3 seconds after plugging in the reader to the
USB port was reported to bypass it?!? Thats like waving chicken bones and
jumping around in prayer to me... So I just disabled it in the code. Workin great!
If there is any info there I can help ya out with, I'd be glad to help.
I got the card reader since the GamePark GP2X that I got this week doesnt work
with USB properly (but iut is GamePark's problem and they know it) so I need
the SanDisk device to load all my games/videos/music/etc.... Love my new Linux
toy ;-)
