Bug Description
I have a Dell Precision M6300 Laptop on which I have been running Ubuntu for over 2 years. I ran 8.04 Hardy for two years and then 10.04 Lucid for the past 6 months. Everything worked great including the SD card reader on both 8.04 and 10.04 until two days ago when I performed a distribution upgrade to 10.10 Maverick. Now, after the upgrade, the SD card reader will not mount. Dmesg gives the following dialog when I insert an SD card:
[ 120.602656] r852: detected xD writeable card in slot
[ 120.910163] No NAND device found.
Prior to installing 10.10, the SD card would mount and a dialog would begin automatically when I inserted a SD card. Now, nothing happens.
The SD card reader does not show up when running "sudo fdisk -lu" from the command line. I have tried two different SD cards that worked in the past and that currently work from the Windows partition. Neither work with the Ubuntu 10.10 distribution upgrade. I have a dual boot machine and Windows mounts the card(s) without a problem so I am fairly certain that its not a hardware problem.
The SD card reader is an internal reader that came with my Dell Precision M6300. The command, lspci, lists the SD card reader as follows:
03:01.2 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C592 Memory Stick Bus Host Adapter (rev 12)
03:01.3 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev 12)
In researching this problem, I decided to try to mount the SD card reader from Ubuntu installation CDs to confirm that the problem wasn't related to my specific Ubuntu installation or the distribution upgrade that I performed. So, I booted both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of the Ubuntu Live CDs of 10.10 and found that the 32 bit version worked where the SD card would indeed mount. However, when booting from the 64 bit version of the 10.10 installation CD, the SD card would not mount. So, I have determined that this is a 64 bit problem only.
I am filing this bug report from my computer while running the 64 bit installation CD. Attached is a spider report that I ran from the installation CD.

I fixed this SD card reader problem by installing the current development kernel:
linux-headers- 2.6.37- 999-generic_ 2.6.37- 999.20101104112 0_amd64. deb
from the daily builds here:
http:// kernel. ubuntu. com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/ daily/2010- 11-04-maverick/
Everything appears to be working perfectly.
So, as far as I am concerned, this bug is fixed in the newer kernels.
Also, this bug is a duplicate of bug 238208 here:

Please mark it as such.
