All,
Problem Summary:
I have a SanDisk ImageMate USB compactFlash + SecureDigital + MultiMediaCard
reader, and I am getting IO errors trying to read a 128MB SimpleTech CF card
with 2.4 kernels.
Details:
I have an 8MB Canon CF card and a 128MB SimpleTech CF card.
With the USB reader, I see:
OS or Device | 8MB | 128MB |
------------------+-----+-------+
MacOS 9 | OK | OK |
RH 2.4.17-0.16smp | OK | ERR |
RH 2.4.18-3 | OK | ERR |
ERR means that I get IO errors when I try to 'cp -a' the contents of the CF
card to local disk.
"pc: reading '/mnt/flash1.....': Input/output error" is repeated for many of
the files on the card, but not all of them. Most of them seem to be later
files.
Also, with a PCMCIA adapter in the RH 2.4.18-3, both CF cards work.
Both cards also work in a HandEra 300 PDA and a Canon PowerShot A40 digital
camera.
Any suggestions of how I could track down the problem? (I've submitted a bug
report to SanDisk as well, but this looks like a Linux problem to me.)

Because SD is DRM and since the method to double pump a split read/write10
across the bus is not very simple nor public, there is legal problem.
I suspect I just got myself one for even mentioning the stuff above.

But I am not using SD. I'm using CF. Why would the above affect CF, and
only the 128MB CF and not the 8MB CF?
Thanks for responding,
