Again, for this system too, can you attach the output of 'dmesg' Cheers, Don

Thanks Vasiliy for the dmesg output. I have a question. Are the 'memory cards' formatted? I see this in the log: eth1: no IPv6 routers present usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2 usb 1-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices usb-storage: device found at 2 usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage USB Mass Storage support registered.

I am not sure if userspace is supposed to prompt the user and ask if the disk should be formatted or not. But that seems to be the problem. Thoughts? Cheers, Don
I see. The cards we use are all formatted and work on other card readers in other machines. They are usable and have a few files on them. We have also tried basically all SD cards in our possession but making sure they work in other machines first.
