Pretty specific huh? Well the thing is I have the exact same card reader, OS,\u00a0 version on one Lenovo laptop. The SD card works on the Lenovo, but not on the Dell\u00a0Inspiron 3421.<\/p>\n
The error it made on the Dell was the following in \/var\/log\/syslog<\/p>\n
Feb 14 08:30:46 raspberry kernel: [ 216.319736] mmc0: error -22 whilst initialising SD card
\nFeb 14 08:30:48 raspberry kernel: [ 219.151052] mmc0: tuning execution failed: -22<\/p>\n
Lots of googling down dead ends ensued. Here's a little more info about the device in question.<\/p>\n

All this was exactly the same on both machines. Works on one. Not on the other.<\/p>\n
Kernel version was different. 4.4 on the Lenovo, 4.10 on the Dell. Tried booting into old kernel. Same same.<\/p>\n
So, here's what actually worked.<\/p>\n

I tried this for both the 4.4 kernel and the 4.10 kernel. Only the 4.10 kernel worked.
\nThis sounds like it only took a few minutes but it was half a day of BS. Hoping this helps someone else.<\/p>\n
This is the first driver\/kernel problem I've had on Linux for about 5 years, so I guess that's not too bad. But just spooky how it affected one machine and not the other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
