Bug Description

I have HP NC6230 laptop with a internal card reader. The reader was working perfectly under Dapper, whenever I inserted a SD/MMC card, it used to automatically detect it and mount it. It was also possible to read/write files to the card (FAT32).

Since, I have upgraded to Edgy, the functionality is not available. I can see in dmesg that the card insert/eject is detected but I do not have possibility of reading/writing to this card.

Just to confirm, after loading the modules tifm_sd and mmc_core the automount is behaving as expected. This shoud be default....

Still not working in Feisty herd 2. Works normally after loading the modules.

Can you please post a dmesg of card insertion before and after you insert two modules? It shouldn't be too hard to fix once we know where the hotplug events are getting missed.

This is a current issue with tifm on feisty.

Since bug #82680 was solved, this is the only bug stopping the tifm reader from working.

I've never written a modprobe rule before, but here is one that works for me.

This should (of course), but integrated into 90-modprobe.rules

Didn't intend to alter the Approve/Deny state, I was trying to reject the 2.6.17 request since that doesn't make sense for Feisty.

I also have the HP nc6230 and can confirm the original bug submission still occurs on:

~$: uname -a
Linux xxxx 2.6.17-11-generic #2 SMP Tue Mar 13 23:32:38 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

I have to manually modprobe tifm_sd:

~$: sudo modprobe tifm_sd

...before it will mount the card. I can use Stefano Rivera's modprobe rule and it works for me also.
