Gigabyte SD memory card

[Tony Arnold]

I'm using Ubuntu Linux 4.10 (Warty Warthog) to which I have attached a
DaneElec USB 2.0 SD card reader. I can mount and see the contents of a
256MByte SD card, but when I insert a 1Gb SD card from Bytestor, it does
not get mounted automatically.

The syslog gives the following:

Dec 20 15:44:45 aca-vnt kernel: sda : READ CAPACITY failed.
Dec 20 15:44:45 aca-vnt kernel: sda : status=0, message=00, host=7,
driver=00
Dec 20 15:44:45 aca-vnt kernel: sda : sense not available.
Dec 20 15:44:45 aca-vnt kernel: sda: Write Protect is off
Dec 20 15:44:45 aca-vnt kernel: sda : READ CAPACITY failed.
Dec 20 15:44:45 aca-vnt kernel: sda : status=0, message=00, host=7,
driver=00
Dec 20 15:44:45 aca-vnt kernel: sda : sense not available.
Dec 20 15:44:45 aca-vnt kernel: sda: Write Protect is off
Dec 20 15:44:45 aca-vnt
kernel:  /dev/scsi/host4/bus0/target0/lun0:<3>Buffer I/O error on device
sda, logical block 0
Dec 20 15:44:45 aca-vnt kernel:  unable to read partition table

Is there anything I can do to get around this, or is it a question of
some drivers catching up?

Regards,
Tony.
