Description of problem: I upgraded FC6 with the latest updates on the evening of 4/2/07 (previously update was performed around 3/15/07). Following this upgrade I diccovered Fedora would no longer automount an SD card when inserted in the media card slot. This has worked in the past with no issues (until 4/2 updates were applied). Note that with my initial install of FC6 (2.6.19.295.fc6), tifm_sd module never autoloaded and an entry in /etc/rc.local was made to allow this to happen (see bug number 232370). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel - 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 Gateway Laptop Model MX3210 This is the relevant diagnostic output: [root@localhost dev]# dmesg | tail SoftMAC: Scanning finished: scanned 14 channels starting with channel 1 SoftMAC: Scanning finished: scanned 14 channels starting with channel 1 SoftMAC: Scanning finished: scanned 14 channels starting with channel 1 SoftMAC: Scanning finished: scanned 14 channels starting with channel 1 SoftMAC: Scanning finished: scanned 14 channels starting with channel 1 tifm_7xx1: demand removing card from socket 1 tifm_7xx1: sd card detected in socket 1 tifm_7xx1: demand removing card from socket 1 tifm_7xx1: sd card detected in socket 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [root@localhost dev]# lshal --monitor Start monitoring devicelist: ------------------------------------------------- pci_104c_803b_mmc_host removed pci_104c_803b_mmc_host added pci_104c_803b_mmc_host removed pci_104c_803b_mmc_host added [1]+ Stopped lshal --monitor [root@localhost dev]# - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [root@localhost ~]# lsmod |grep -i sd tifm_sd 14025 0 sdhci 22489 0 mmc_core 30661 2 tifm_sd,sdhci tifm_core 13505 2 tifm_sd,tifm_7xx1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [root@localhost ~]# lspci | grep -i texas 00:0c.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Cardbus Controller 00:0c.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) 00:0c.3 Class 0805: Texas Instruments PCIxx12 SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller [root@localhost ~]# How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. load the tifm_sd module (loaded via line entry in /etc/rc.local) 2. tail -f /var/log/messages 3. plug the SD card in Expected results: Device should be listed in Nautilus and icon placed on desktop Actual results: Device insertion is reported, but not listed in Nautilus and no icon placed on desktop Additional Info: Bug 234716 is opened against FC7 test 3 and is similar except, that in this bug the media actually mounts and is readable/writable, and only occasionally mounts the drive with the owner is root. Therefore, it is not cleaar that this bug is really related.
There have been no updates to hal or gnome-mount so this is most likely a program with the kernel-2.6.20-1.2933 update (or maybe earlier). (Btw, this is not related to bug 234716.)
s/program/problem/ sorry
I had a similar problem on my laptop recently and found it to be due to the presence of ide-cd and an option line in modprobe.conf. The option was giving an error. Removing ide-cd and the option fixed the problem. Somehow that option that worked for a long time stopped working! Unfortunately I deleted the line so don't remember the exact option line. You may also want to examine modprobe.conf.

I only have two options in the modprobe.conf: options snd-card-0 index=0 options snd-via82xx index=0 Stranger things have happened before, but I don't see how either of these could be related. Could they? Just for grins I removed IDE_CD and it only stopped my CDROM from working, had to add it back in. Several people have suggested it to be something in the kernel that has changed. NOTE: In trying out your suggestion, I did notice (more closely this time) that in the past when I inserted a cd in the CDROM drive, that eventually a CD icon would appear on the desktop and would simalteneously open a Nautilus window. However, now the desktop icon only appears AFTER I open Nautilis and then the CD icon in Nautilus. Seems a little strange to me.
A post relating to this has been submitted to the FedoraForum: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=789807#post789807 It seems that it is related to a buggy tifm_sd driver included in the most recent kernels. The instructions on there are extremely useful and *seem* to have worked for me, but I haven't got any media to try it with at this time.
(This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora!
I've just tried this on Fedora 8 and the issue still stands. While Fedora 8 (and Fedora 7) correctly loaded the MMC reader on start up (on my laptop, the MMC light is lit from bootup), the media is not loaded correctly. Kernel message log shows Jan 10 18:05:31 ljam kernel: tifm_core: MemoryStick card detected in socket 0:1 but no associated /dev/sd?? nodes are created, and HAL does not mount the device.

It says "MemoryStick" -- is that what was inserted? Those are unsupported.
It was a SanDisk Memory Stick Duo Adapter that I inserted (with a SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo card in the adapter).
