Hi all,
I installed debian on an old Asus EEE 701 notebook that I haven't used
in a while. It has an integrated SDHC card reader to expand storage,
since it only includes a 4gb SSD.
I have a 16gb Kingston SDHC card that I used with this PC for a few
years with no problems, using both Windows and Xubuntu. But now with
my new installation the card is completely unresponsive, I can't use
fdisk, nor dd, nor cat on it. Also system shutdown will halt until I
remove the card from the reader.
The card reader works, I've tried it with another 256mb card I have.
The card also works, I tested it on another computer and had no
issues.
When I run any program that attempts to read from the card, the
program halts until I kill (-9) it or until I remove the card. This
happens both on the installed debian as well as in a Xubuntu live usb
boot. (At first I thought since I selected a more "localized" [can't
remember the name] kernel, I was missing the drivers for this, but
since Xubuntu also doesn't work this seems unlikely.)
Here's some info thay may help:
