From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: I have a HP laptop (hp pavilion ze4315us) with usb1.1. I am attempting to use the Lexar USB2.0 Multi-Card Reader with FC3. It works perfectly file in windows xp... but when tring it in linux all I get is the following message in /var/log/messages: Dec 22 11:45:04 localhost kernel: ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.0: wakeup Dec 22 11:45:04 localhost kernel: usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using address 2 Dec 22 11:45:06 localhost kernel: SCSI subsystem initialized Dec 22 11:45:06 localhost kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

But it doesn't work at all for me. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): udev-039-10.FC3.6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. plug the device into the usb port 2. watch /var/log/messages 3. Expected Results: the device to mount... Additional info:
does this device have partitions on it? # fdisk -l /dev/sda to let the kernel reread all partitions use: # sfdisk -R /dev/sda
'fdisk -l /dev/sda' returns with nothing (I assume that means there are no partitions?) and when I execute 'sfdisk -R /dev/sda' it returns: /dev/sda: No medium found sfdisk: cannot open /dev/sda for reading I know there are directories and pictures on the CF card... I put them there in hopes of downloading them from the reader...
reassigning to kernel
added to whitelist, in the next kernel update you should see all the slots show up as sda1, sda2 etc.. In the meantime, you can work around this by loading scsi_mod with the max_luns=N argument (where N = number of slots) add.. options scsi_mod max_luns=8 to your /etc/modprobe.conf, and then next time it gets loaded the devices should appear.
added to whitelist in todays update.
