Greetings all;
I have a card reader plugged into a usb port. I recognizes a 512meg pny
cf card just fine, but wwhen I plug in a 256meg Lexar cf, the led comes
on, but there is no reaction from linux. /dev/sda is not created,
nothing.
Is this a kernel config problem, or is this particular cf known to be a
bad bird?

Cheers, Gene

I do that with CF and memory stick, what kernel, distribution, etc? I
would suspect something in hotplug not noticing.
I presume you have tried this from cold boot, so any issues with
unplugging and plugging another flash are removed.

Ignore me, I opened the second one I'd bought at the same time and it
worked as expected. Bad card in the blisterpack.

No I didn't try that. See the other ignore me message for the answer.
Thanks Bill.
