right card reader doesn't work in ubuntu

My expansion card reader works (left side) but the one on the right side doesn't.
I am using the UNR with the Sickboy kernel.

There is nothing in dmesg.

 

Have you done some tweaks for the card readers?

I don't use sickboy's kernel, but I use my own starting from his config. My card readers both work, but as I only have SD cards I can only know for sure about those. I did the following:

Code:

spinnekop@spinnie-one:~$ cat /etc/modules 
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

pciehp
acerhdf
spinnekop@spinnie-one:~$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/aspire 
#
# Aspire One tweaks
#

# Card Readers
options pciehp pciehp_force=1
install sdhci for i in 2381 2382 2383 2384; do /usr/bin/setpci -d 197b:$i AE=47; done; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install sdhci
spinnekop@spinnie-one:~$ 

 

It's weird the left one works.

I have no acerhdf module.

 

Card Readers wasn't working on my Eeebuntu Standard installation until I found this.

Thank you!

 

I had the same issue on my Xubuntu 8.10 with Sickboy Kernel. The following from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne110L#Card Readers helped.

Creating a file etc/modprobe/aspireone with following content:

Code:

####################################################################
# Module options for the Acer AspireOne
#
# Enable USB card reader
options pciehp pciehp_force=1
install sdhci for i in 2381 2382 2383 2384; do /usr/bin/setpci -d 197b:$i AE=47; done; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install sd

and adding the following to etc/modules

Code:

pciehp

 

The pciehp module conflicts with something:
[ 7.002037] ACPI Error (dsfield-0139): [CAPB] Namespace lookup failure, AE_ALREADY_EXISTS
[ 7.002059] ACPI Error (psparse-0524): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0._OSC] (Node f7012cc0), AE_ALREADY_EXISTS

[ 7.003453] ACPI Error (psparse-0524): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0._OSC] (Node f7012cc0), AE_ALREADY_EXISTS

The /etc/modprobe.d/aspireone disables both readers.

 

I'm getting the same problem. Before I did the fixes described in this thread, I had my left reader hot-swappable. Now I have nothing

 

The two tips shouldn't be used together as they are redundant. Try either the one or the other. Maybe it's relevant to have the commands in th e right order.
