missing support for sd card reader in qubes4 kernel

[ludwig jaffe]

Hi all, I have a dell note book that includes the following sd controller. Which is supported in other linux kernels.

Please include support for this controller in the kernel and modules which is shipped with qubes-os 4.0.

Thanks in advance

Ludwig

I think you'll find bug reports for that device against a number of
older and some newer kernels too, certainly reported against fc25 and
fc28 stock kernels.

It may be supported in the linux-kernel-latest package (see: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/newer-hardware-troubleshooting/ )

...but, I suggest backing up or cloning the system before swapping kernels. You should have the ability to change boot kernel back via grub...but...it's best to be able to revert.

Ah, yeah, I see that too. I googled the following and saw some mention of workarounds: O2 Micro, Inc. SD/MMC Card Reader Controller linux
