Almost got my new laptop to do all I need...
The built-in TI PCI cardreader wouldn't do though.
read the wiki, the forums, tried load modules...
nothing. It would not mount my SD card I use in my Digicam.
Any help is appreciated!

Insert your card and open a shell. Get root.
Code:
$ su
# fdisk -l
Please post the output.
Do you see your drive listed in the output of fdisk -l? If not then it would seem you are correct that your SD card is not seen. If it is listed then it's a simple matter of mounting it manually. |

followed the WIKI as in http://kanotix.com/index.php?module=pnWikka&tag=Laptop
no errors installing, now dmesg gives me the following after repeatedly inserting and removing the SD card:
Code:
jurgen@saxxon:/dev$ dmesg |grep sd
tifm_7xx1: sd card detected in socket 1
jurgen@saxxon:/dev$ dmesg |grep sd
tifm_7xx1: sd card detected in socket 1
tifm_7xx1: sd card detected in socket 1
jurgen@saxxon:/dev$ dmesg |grep sd
tifm_7xx1: sd card detected in socket 1
tifm_7xx1: sd card detected in socket 1
tifm_7xx1: sd card detected in socket 1
it recognizes inserting but seems NOT to see the removal...
any suggestion?
btw: winxp "sees" my card, so it is OK.

well, it works now!
adding the following to /etc/modules and rebooting fixed my problem.
tifm_7xx1
tifm_core
tifm_sd
my Kingston SD card automounts just fine.
I did indeed install tifmxx from http://developer.berlios.de/projects/tifmxx
before that, make & make install, update-modules.
after a D-U I'll check what is really necessary.
