Fwd: Mounting MMC card

2007-06-28 Thread Midhun Agnihotram
Hi All, I am new to linux kernel stuff. I am using Cogent CSB535FS board. I have configured the kernel to include support for MMC card and also i.MX MMC driver. When I insert the card, it says : # imx-mmc imx-mmc.0: card inserted So, the kernel has identified that MMC has been inserted. I h

Hi All, # mount /dev/mmcblk0p0 /mnt/mmc mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0p0 on /mnt/mmc failed I have tried with /dev/mmcblk0p0, mmcblk0p1,etc. But of no use. How Try to mount mmcblk0 and/or try fdisk and look at the partition table. dmesg output would also be helpful (after the failed mount).

Hi, I was talking about the file system on the card. Usually, you've got vfat on such a card. How about that? BTW, You mounted proc on /proc and sysfs on /sys, I hope? Yes I do have the support for vfat and msdos file system. I have formatted the card on a Windows system with "FAT" file s

This all looks correct. How about /proc/partitions? And what's in /sys/block? Both of them show no sign of MMC. / # cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 31 0 8192 mtdblock0 31 1384 mtdblock1 31 2 1664 mtdblock2 31 3 2048 mtdblock3 31

Not likely. It's probably a no-op when you don't have devfs. CONFIG_MMC_DEBUG is already enabled. This is not printing any debug statements as such. Midhun. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo
