Description Ian Burrell 2004-10-30 18:56:17 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020
Firefox/0.10.1

Description of problem:
Only the first slot of a USB 6-in-1 flash reader is being recognized
by the kernel.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.9-1.649

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug in flash reader
2. Insert MemoryStick in slot

Actual Results:  The Memory Stick is not recognized.  The logs show
that only one slot is being recognized for the device.


Expected Results:  Only six slot should have separate devices created.
 The Memory Stick slot should recognize and mount when a card is inserted

Additional info:

Adding "options scsi_mod max_luns=6" to /etc/modprobe.conf causes all
6 slots to be recognized.  It would be nice if it was recognized
automatically.

Comment 1 Dave Jones 2004-11-01 14:37:00 EST

Vendor: generic  Model: USB Storage-SMC  Rev: 0207

Is this line _exactly_ as it appears ? The reason I ask, is I have
an identical device, but mine shows up as "Generic" instead of "generic".

Comment 2 Ian Burrell 2004-11-01 23:45:14 EST

That is exactly how it appears in the scsi devices, with the lowercase
"generic" for the vendor.  It sounds like this chip (Neodio ND3050) is
used in many generic readers.  Mine is made by SIIG.  

lsusb says:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0aec:3050 Neodio Technologies Corp.

Comment 3 Ian Burrell 2004-11-02 00:01:38 EST

Some more investigation showed that the case of the vendor is what
makes the difference.  I did:

echo 'generic:USB Storage-SMC:0x2' > /proc/scsi/device_info

And then the kernel recognizes the 4 slots as /dev/sda to /dev/sdd.
