 |
|
Hello at all!!!!
I have a new USB cardreader/writer for CompactFlash, Sd-Cards, Memory Stick and Smart Media Cards. How can I use this USB cardreader/writer on Gentoo Linux or generally on Linux?
It would be nice if you could give me an exact description step by step.
Thanx

There is plenty about these types of devices in the forum, so don't stop reading after this post.
What you want to do is handled most easily by the hotplug system. First 'emerge' hotplug. Then you must do some kernel configuration: You should (if you don't you get some non-fatal boot errors and/or non-functional USB keyboard) enable all USB stuff as modules. The USB stuff you need is the driver for you Card reader, Usb mass storage support. You should also enable SCSI generic support in the SCSI subsection if you don't already have it for a cdrw.
Once you've recompiled your kernel:
| Code: |
#make dep && make clean bzImage modules modules_install
|
add hotplug to your init:
| Code: |
#rc-update add hotplug boot
|
Then you should reboot. When you're up an running, check for any sd#'s in dev; you should be able to mount these. There is a way to configure hotplug to automount your card... look at this thread(and others):

I hope this helps (feel free to msg me if you need elaboration on any of the above). |
