Thanks also to the mailing list posted that I've long since lost that pointed out the вЂњProbe all LUNsвЂќ thing. Thanks to Susan Macchia for her notes on getting n-in-1 card readers working that got me started with mine. I replaced it with a SanDisk 8-in-1 and everything worked beautifully. The first multi-card reader I bought was a off-brand and would spontaneously disconnent itself after being mounted for a minute or two. One more note: don't cheap-out on your card reader. Repeat for each kind of card you actually have. When you find the right one, add it to your /etc/fstab as described below and forget about it. You will get a вЂњ mount: No medium foundвЂќ for absent cards. If not, put a card in and try to mount it on each one. Some readers give a useful description in sg_scan. Now, the question of which slot on the reader corresponds to which device file. You can either modify /etc/nf, or run the above command on startup. You just have to manually enable the probing. If you don't have вЂњProbe all LUNs on each SCSI deviceвЂќ set (as in Knoppix, Libranet, and some other default installs), you're not out of luck. On this system, the four slots on the card reader are mapped to SCSI devices /dev/sd. The вЂњProbe all LUNs on each SCSI deviceвЂќ option in the kernel must be enabled so it will find these. Notice that the four generics are part of the same physical device, but have different LUNs. dev/sg5: scsi2 channel=0 id=0 lun=3 type=0 dev/sg4: scsi2 channel=0 id=0 lun=2 type=0 dev/sg3: scsi2 channel=0 id=0 lun=1 type=0 dev/sg2: scsi2 channel=0 id=0 lun=0 type=0 When you do the sg_scanВ -i, you should see several devices, like this: The device should still appear in your /proc/bus/usb/devices as described above.

If this isn't compiled in, you can add this line to your /etc/nf:Д®cho 8 > /sys/module/scsi_mod/parameters/max_luns Make sure that вЂњProbe all LUNs on each SCSI deviceвЂќ ( CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN) is enabled in your kernel. If you have an n-in-1 card reader that can deal with multiple cards, the process isn't much different. The first (and almost certainly only) partition is /dev/sda1. Now, run the command sg_map to determine the real SCSI device associated with your reader. You can also confirm that the driver is working by looking at the file /proc/scsi/scsiВ . This indicates that the вЂњrawвЂќ SCSI device associated with your reader is /dev/sg0. dev/sg0: scsi0 channel=0 id=0 lun=0 type=0Д®USB Compact Flash 5.09 To check your SCSI devices, run the command sg_scanВ -iВ .

Install the sg3-utils package if you haven't already (on Debian, apt-get install sg3-utils). If you see that, the kernel is recognizing the USB device. If you have a look through the file /proc/bus/usb/devices, you should see a section with an S: line and the name of your reader and an I: line with Driver=usb-storage. And, plug the thing in, if you haven't already. It will prevent the whole thing from working correctly.Д¬ompile your kernel with these options and reboot (or just load the relevant modules if you've got them). Make sure you do not select the вЂњLow Performance USB BlockДriverвЂќ ( BLK_DEV_UB). USB Mass Storage support ( CONFIG_USB_STORAGE, usb-storage.o).

#Sunpak 72 in 1 card reader driver update drivers

Whatever USB drivers you need, one or more of: ECHI HCD ( CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD, usb-ehci-hcd.o), UHCI ( CONFIG_USB_UHCI, usb-uhci.o), OHCI ( CONFIG_USB_OHCI, usb-ohci.o).

Preliminary USB device file system ( CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS).

In the вЂњ USB SupportвЂќ section of the kernel configuration, enable the following: You need to use the USB mass storage driver to access your reader.

Probe all LUNs on each SCSI device ( CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN), required only for multi-card devices.

SCSI generic support ( CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG, sg.o).

SCSI disk support ( CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD, sd_mod.o).

The configuration name and the module name are listed: In the вЂњ SCSI SupportвЂќ section, enable these. The USB driver serves up your reader as a SCSI device, so you also need to install the SCSI drivers. I have also done this with 2.6.x kernels and it all works.

It should work with any 2.4.x series kernel. I originally did this on Debian sarge with Linux kernel 2.4.19. If you have any particular successes or failures using these instructions, let me know.

With minimal modifications, the setup is the same for USB CD-ROM drives, floppies, etc. You should be able to follow the same procedure for other USB storage devices (portable hard drives, other media cards, etc.).

Using USB Mass Storage Devices (one page of the Linux USB How-To).

I didn't find any instructions that were as straightforward as they should be, so.ДЇirst things first. I recently got a Compact Flash card reader and set about getting it to work under Linux (x86).
