This is still a problem in Jaunty. The SD card reader doesn't work on my Thinkpad T500.
The suggestion from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux- source-2.6.22/+bug/111089 works great. After running the following commands (replace 15:00.2 with your PCI bus, use lspci -vv to find it), SD cards are recognized on insertion. sudo setpci -s 15:00.2 0xCA=0x57 # Write Enable sudo setpci -s 15:00.2 0xCB=0x02 # (MMC Disable) sudo setpci -s 15:00.2 0xCA=0x00 # (Write Disable) I have these log messages... r...@t500-jaunty:/home/bronson# dmesg | grep ricoh [ 1417.045165] ricoh-mmc: Resuming.

So, the ricoh-mmc driver appears to be present but not fixing this bug? -- Ricoh 5 in 1 card reader not working on Ubuntu 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311781 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
