mount SD card yet?

**jimjan** · 06-10-2007, 04:50 PM

this issue seems like it has been around a while. wondering if we have an answer?

using knoppix 5 1 1 [but same issue with other versions] with laptop that has sd card slot.
using knoppix as live cd.

card not identified or mounted.

suggestions about how to use, mount, access?

links or steps you know about to solve this or is this a non do with knoppix or linux generally?
other distros that allow this to be managed?

thanks

make sure proper drivers are installed so whatever is reading the card is on the right drivers

I observed the following with a similar System (Kubuntu) with an external Card driver, but maybe it helps. Kubuntu will mount Card automatically if I first insert Card into Cardreader and then Cardreader into USB. Kubuntu will do nothing if Cardreader is already attached and a card inserted later.

Maybe a "mount -l" (the parameter is an "Ell", not an "one") to be typed in a terminal window will show you which device name has been given to your card after inserting, if any?

will try this

cant believe i have not done already since i always do with usual usb thumb that is not identified

one clarification, this is not a card reader but an internal sd card slot if that makes a diference

will try; thanks for reply
