Title: SD Problems on OZ
Post by: altarity on July 07, 2004, 09:21:31 pm

I was hoping some one has run into this before.  I'm running 3.3.5, and I followed the instructions to copy /opt /home and /root to a Kingston 512mb SD card.  Everything works fine, as long as I don't go into suspend.  When I start back up nothing really works anymore, and I get application errors and the like.  Networking is still working and I can use ssh to look what is going on.  It doesn't seem like the sd card is coming back as it should.  Here's the output of the ls command on the /mnt/card directiory after coming back from a suspend:

# cd /mnt/card
# ls
ls: ./lost+found: Input/output error
ls: ./home: Input/output error
ls: ./root: Input/output error
ls: ./doit: Input/output error
opt

If I reboot, everything will come back up again and work fine untill I hit suspend again.  If I just hit the power switch i'll get fsck on boot-up fixing problems with /mnt/card.


Anybody got a quick fix, or do I have a sub-optimal SD card?

Thanks in Advance

I've got this problem too.

It seems to be a problem with sdmgr (I managed to SSH in once and top showed it using most of the processor time.)

We can only hope that this'll be fixed in 3.5.1

There's always hope, of course. I wouldn't count on it though. sdmgr and sd-modules are binary only, so our options to improve things are pretty limited in this case.

Hi,
maybe you try this module:
http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php...download&sid=52 (http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=UpDownload&file=index&req=viewsdownload&sid=52)
I have no problems using this module, but I also have a panasonic high speed card.
Cheers,
Sam

Awesome Teletubbie! The new module works like a charm.  I was worried that I'd have a kernel/module mismatch or something, but I went ahead and overwrote the the sharp module and everything is peachy now.
