 Posted: Tue Aug 19, 2003 7:43 pm Post subject: Builtin Memory Stick no-go |
 |
|
Has anyone gotten the built-in Memory Stick on VAIO laptops working? I have a PCG-GR170K and whenever I insert a Memory Stick, there's no message in dmesg whatsoever. Loading usb-storage doesn't help, and when I try to mount it explicitly via 'mount /dev/sda1', it tells me there's no /dev/sda1 ....
Any advice?? TIA! |

Post your kernel config (the parts about USB, SCSI and HOTPLUG). I've never had any problems with my memory stick slot (in a Vaio PCG-R505R/GK). From dmesg (in 2.6-test3-mm2):
| Code: | scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Vendor: Sony Model: MSC-U02 Rev: 1.00
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0

and the old kernel (2.4.20-gentoo-r6):
| Code: | scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
Vendor: Sony Model: MSC-U02 Rev: 1.00
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Both look a little saner when I actually have a memory stick in the slot...  |

Yep. "No ACPI --> no memory stick" is what they told me at the Linux-Sony mailing list...  | Code: | # CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI is not set
# CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI is not set |
should both be set to yes, I believe. At least that's what I have, and I don't see any other differences. |

I assume this isn't right. 
Suffice to say, nothing still happens when I plug in a Memory Stick... |

Yeah, but not the hotplug stuff.
FYI, I've given up on this particular laptop. Turns out that most of the advanced BIOS settings were locked out by my IT dept. I have a feeling that there was a misconfigured BIOS setting somewhere, but unfortunately I can't access it. So I gave it back to them and they will install XP back on it. 
Well, there's always VNC to my home PC!  Thanks for your help though, much appreciated!!! |

you can always hack the bios with some windows hackers tool. Only problem is that you will have to use wine to emulat windows. I once hacked a bios of a company because I needed to boot from cdrom.
Btw. They gave the computer to me;) |
