RE: [Gumstix-users] Can't automount mmc card (using fstab - 2.6.15 kernel)

[David S. <dav...@nt...>]

Hi can you just confirm that these are the only modules which would need to
be changed to be compiled into the kernel to get this working:

 

File systems -> DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems -> VFAT

 

Device drivers -> MMC/SD Card support -> MMC support

Device drivers -> MMC/SD Card support -> MMC block device driver

Device drivers -> MMC/SD Card support -> Intel PXA255 Multimedia Card
Interface support

 

Then change noauto to defaults for the mmc line in fstab?

 

Cheers


Dave

I've been trying to get my mmc card to automount on startup of the gumstix
by changing noauto in fstab to defaults.  This seems to make no difference
unfortunately.  Once the gumstix has started if I enter "mount /mnt/mmc" or
"mount -a" the mmc mount is brought up no problems.  I'm using the 2.6.15
kernel on basix 200 bt.  I've read in other posts about modules needing to
be loaded first but I thought that was with older versions of the kernel and
the fstab method should work regardless here.  Any ideas?  Cheers

 

the "mount -a" is run from /etc/inittab before the rc.modules script is run
-- so the mmc driver and the mmc block driver have not yet been loaded, so
there is no /dev/mmcblk* to mount, so mount -a in /etc/inittab doesn't mount
it.  You can add a manual "/sbin/modprobe mmc_block; /sbin/modprobe pxamci"
in /etc/inittab ahead of the "mount -a" command to ensure that the right
modules are already loaded before the mount is attempted.  Or easier, just
compile the MMC stuff into the kernel instead of building it as modules,
then it'll be there for sure.
