The ldm message is a kernel bug, just ignore it, or install a newer kernel. I'm using 2.4.21-18mm from Contrib/Cooker and these annoying messages are gone.

 

Perhaps you have to recompile the Kernel with 'Probe all Lun's' in the SCSI config. Some 6 in 1 readers need this to access all slots. Check out the Linux_USB site for this ! ( www.linux-usb.org )

 

hope this helps.

OK, download a newer version of the kernel from cooker ( See www.linux-mandrake.com / Cooker button on the left side ) .

 

U must download the src RPM, not the SRPM !

Install this RPM.

 

Then start compiling it.

Copy the kernel source from

 

/usr/src/$kernel-name

 

to your $HOME.

Open a console, go to this dir, enter:

 

'make xconfig'

 

a Setup window appears on the screen.

 

With the 'Open File' dialog open $HOME/$kernel-name/arch/i386/defconfig

what is the default kernel-config for mandrake.

Change the 'LUN' thing.

 

Then just push save, exit xconfig, and enter in console:

 

make dep (wait...)

make bzImage (wait...)

make modules (wait...)

su (enter root pw)

make modules_install

make install

 

Look at /boot to what file the vmlinuz und the initrd.img symlinks are

pointing.

For the testing thing, it is better to let them point to the old kernel/initrd.

Just create new links, if needed.

 

take a look in the mandrake-control-center for your lilo conf.

Sometimes u have to make an entry for the new kernel.

Just enter the same configs as the default kernel but for the new

kernel and initrd-image.

 

At last, reboot, choose new kernel in lilo, have fun !

 

I dont't really know what went wrong with compiling your kernel, so

I just descibed the whole thing in a short way.

If there're any further questions, no problem.

 

hope this helps

OK, this is true, but with a 6 in 1 reader....

If U do not own all card types, not so good way.

 

But, this is only cosmetic stuff.

The reader even works with this error messages.

 

But U have to recompile to probe all LUNs for an 6 in 1 device.

Mandrake does not enable this feature by default.

I think this is because some IDE-writers (older mitsumi mostly)

react very strange when probing all LUNs in ide-scsi.

 

But if you have to recompile, why not using sources

without this bug ?
