I'm a complete novice at these somewhat technical matters and would
appreciate some guidance on how to set up a Swift flash card reader that
works fine in Windows. I got not help from the manufacturer.
I've tried loading what I thought might be the right modules:
parport_pc 23024 0 (autoclean)
bpck 9408 0
paride 3616 1 [bpck]
parport 24576 0 [parport_pc paride]
when I did insmod pd i got
/lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pd.o.gz: init_module:
Operation not permitted
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters
But maybe I'm not using the right drivers etc. I don't *really* understand
what I'm doing - just trying to follow whatever instructions I can find.
dmesg says:
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
parport0: Found 1 daisy-chained devices
parport0: No more nibble data (126 bytes)
parport0: only read 126 of 1000 ID bytes
parport0: No more nibble data (1 bytes)
parport0: device reported incorrect length field (34950, should be 127)
parport0 (addr 0): Legacy device
lp0: using parport0 (polling).
though later it says
...
parport0: Found 4 daisy-chained devices
...
(I just have a printer and the flash card reader.)
...
pda: Autoprobe failed
pd: no valid drive found
pd: pd version 1.05, major 45, cluster 64, nice 0
pda: Invalid parameters
pd: no valid drive found
Any help would be much appreciated.
