VeeDubb Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 For years, ever since my first linux attempt with the alph release of Redmond Linux, I have had trouble with USB multi card readers. Even though they have been fully supported by the last several kernels, they have not worked due to distro maker's failure to enable the probing of all LUN's. The default kernel in mandrake 9.2 finaly suports multi-LUN devices, so I don't have to run a custom kernel to use my card reader.

VeeDubb Posted October 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Yup, For me it's a lexar 6-in-1 USB 1.1 that looks like a cassette tape. I just stick the cards I want to use in the slot and plug it into my USB. A new hard drive link magicaly apears on my kde desktop just like you would hope it would. Life is good. NOw if only Ihad good kernel source..... Oh well. Can't have everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
