jmicron sd controller not working
I am using a Jmicron JMB38X external card inserted to a PCI express slot. I wish to use the SD Host controller on this.
The SDHCI driver does recognize the device as shown in dmesg, but I see an error message and the controller is not usable.
dmesg:
sdhci: Secure Digital Host Controller Interface driver

Any help is appreciated. I wish to use only the SD host controller here.

What other PCI cards do you have installed on this system? Are there any other memory card readers on the system? From the error message "Refusing to bind to secondary interface", there may be a resource conflict.

It was indeed what you stated Rubberman.
I could get it working after blacklisting the jmb38x_ms(memory stick driver). Thanks for your advice

Glad to help. Sometimes all we need to do is point you in the right direction. As the originator of this thread you can mark it "solved" (see the "Thread Tools" link at the top of the thread).

I was actually searching for it. But it seems from this post, that tagging "solved" is not available at the moment.

Thanks. I haven't used that since the site was "upgraded" this summer so I wasn't aware it is no longer available. Oh well... sigh.
