sandisk reader (not card) undetectable on linux only.
by Haxsaw from LinuxQuestions.org on (#57AZF)
Hi all pleased to meet you, this is my first post here and i am reasonably new to the linux world. I have very few commands in mind but do understand the principles of root, sudo and modifying with nano.
I am a long time Win user but recently installed Mint on an old Acer Aspire 6920. I also have a RPI3b+ running the official Pi OS.
As a gift i have a sandisk mobilemate (for the size on the RPI) with a 64gb sd card which is formatted with two 32 gb fat32 partitions. This was done on a win10 machine and I have been using it on my RPI and laptop without a problem since fathers-day.
After transferring the data from the card onto the win machine i decided to reformat the two partitions as before 2x32gb. Everything went well but on finalization i received a super fast error message and am no longer able to detect the reader on both the mint laptop or the RPI.
Windows does detect and mount it.
The card in another reader (RPI kit) does mount correctly on the Laptop an RPI.
Another card in the reader doesn't work either.
The following i will try to explain the best i can from a cra**y video on my phone of the error..
When i boot my laptop i get an error message libkmod: ERROR in the libkmod.conf file it seems to be rmmod and modprobe in the sdhci.conf it is ignoring the error on line 1,2,3 and 4
I don't know enough to know if this is really linked to the reader but think it is.
If more info is needed to track this down let me know (with commands)
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
