Mageia forum

I to have this problem. I am running Mageia 2, 64 bit and have tried almost all of my SD drives. I even went out and bought two new ones thinking my old ones had gone bad but no joy. I am pretty sure the new ones are running Fat32. I am sure that at one time my sd cards mounted fine but have not tried it until I received my Raseberry Pi.
I should add that if I reboot the boot appears to hand on the sd card, also it dos'nt appear in "fdisk -l or in the control centre -hardware-harddrives.

Attached is the copy of /var/log/messages:

I've split your post from the other thread, as that one was about a broken installation, and didn't even provide logs.
Yours is different, so it needs a separate thread. FWIW, looks like broken card, card reader or usb port/controller to me,
from the log excerpt below.

What SD cards is/are that (size, brand) what read is it and how is it connected, and does that
combo work on another computer/OS without problems?

Most of the cards are scandisk and they do not work on my wife's system either. I don't sleep much so last night I thought of buying a new adapter and trying it. Will let you know what happens.
Thanks for the reply.

Well it was the adapter, not that old either, another "made in china" product.

Anyway my Raspberry Pi is up and running and I am a happy camper.
