I'm struggling a bit to work out if this is a scsi bug, a USB bug, an MMC bug
or whatever.  But it's a bug.

Michal, can you please track this as a post-2.6.22 regression?

Others: can you please take a look at the dmesg output, see if we can work
out which subsystem is (newly) failing?

Thanks.

Summary: Unable to access memory card reader anymore
Product: IO/Storage
Version: 2.5
  KernelVersion: 2.6.23-rc3
   Platform: All

 Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.22.1, maybe 2.6.23-rc2
 Distribution: Slackware 12.0
 Hardware Environment: Athlon64 3000, laptop Aspire 1511LMi, nForce3 150
 Software Environment: Kernel 2.6.23-rc3, blockdev, udev, KDE 3.5.7
 Problem Description:
 With kernel 2.6.22.1, when I plug a memory card in the integrated card reader
 of my laptop, the card is detected and KDE(via udev) asks me for mounting the
 device.
 With kernel 2.6.23-rc3, this does not happens anymore:
 - first, at boot, there are some new lines in dmesg saying /dev/sda is seen 
 but
 size cannot be get (normal: there is no memory card in the reader);
 - second, plugging the card does nothing;
 - third, issuing blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sda does not work;
 - finally, fdisk /dev/sda fails (unable to open /dev/sda).
 So the device seems to be completly unusable now (this is a Thomson card 
 reader
 if I remember well).
 
 dmesg output for 2.6.22.1-cfs19 and 2.6.23-rc3 appended to show the
 differences.
 
 Steps to reproduce:
 Maybe the problem is specific to my hardware. I presume: boot with an empty
 card reader connected, the plug the card and see it is inaccessible?
 

I'm struggling a bit to work out if this is a scsi bug, a USB bug, an MMC bug
or whatever.  But it's a bug.
