512mb Sd (non)automount Using Hentges Rom

[layers]

i have been using hentges rom with no problems for quite some time now, but i just upgraded my sd card from a 128 to a 512, and reflashed the ROM. my (new) sd card is not detected during the boot, so i halted the opie gui start and mounted from console.. then ran the cardfs install script and everything went well... almost. now everytime i boot the Z i have to go into konsole and manually mount the sd using mount /dev/mmcda1 /media/card ... once i do, all my apps show up and its like there was no prob whatsoever.. can anyone help me with this? even something as basic as how to add a script to the boot process, or after opie starts..  

edit: seems to also unmount when my z goes into standby

[CoreDump]

At some point the auto-mounter script was updated to finally support
multiple partitions on a SD card.

I need a little bit more info to look into this.

What is the exact command you issue when you manually mount the card?

What is the content of /proc/partitions after a reboot with SD card inserted but not mounted?
What is the output of "dmesg" right aftera  reboot?

Please use paste and copy for all messages!

What is the content of /proc/partitions after a reboot with SD card inserted but not mounted?

Code: [Select]

Ah right, there's the problem. Normally /proc/partitions contains all partitions of the SD card if it is inserted. The new auto-mounter parses the file und tries to  mount existing partitions. For whatever reason /proc/partitions is not updated on some models / SD cards.

Looks like i'll need to add a fail-safe auto-mounter for these models / cards.
I'll post a new script later today or tomorrow.

What is the output of "dmesg" right aftera  reboot?

Again, no entry of the SD card. I wonder what's going on. Maybe it's Just Another Bug of the binary-only Sharp SD driver.

[CoreDump]

Ok, I've attached the new script. Please gunzip and copy it into /etc (so the full path is /etc/sdcontrol).

I would appreciate it if everyone who has problems w/ SD in recent builds (ie: hentges ROMs etc)
would test this new script. A new OZ release is due soon and we really don't want to see this problem in the next official release.

Thanks!

thanks much! i will try it immediately and post results..

edit: do i need to chmod it or anything?

editx2:  well.. in my /mnt folder i now have
card
card1
card2
card3
card4
lol.. but none of them actually has the card mounted...

I take it the "mount" command doesn't list mmcdaX mounted at /media/card, right?

so... its not an issue with size of the sd card, or manufacturer? rather, its an issue with the mountpoint? i dont follow how that would inhibit the card from being automounted..

Yes and no. Your problem is that your card doesn't update /proc/partitions like most cards do.
This effectly prevents the new auto-mounter from determining all valid partitions on the card and thus
your card isn't mounted automatically.

This new script offers a fail-safe mode in which it tries to mount /dev/mmcda[1-4] even if /proc partitions is empty. The earlier version I posted suffered some bugs caused by the recent change from /mnt to /media in OZ. They may have prevented the fail-safe mode to work correctly. This latest version should fix all remaining bugs related to /media.

I hope this clears the situation up  

If the card still isn't mounted during a boot, please post all messages from the following commands in this exact order:

/etc/sdcontrol insert (you may want to redirect the output into a textfile)
mount
dmesg | grep -i mmcda
/etc/sdcontrol compeject
mount

I have been having the same problem getting my SD mounted at boot. I have tried the new versions of sdcontrol and I still have a problem. I can get my card mounted by running sdcontrol (with a couple of mods I put in) from the terminal. It seems the problem is that sdmgr isn't calling scontrol. I bet you already came to that conclusion seeing the path this thread has taken.
