Copy it to /lib/modules/2.6.28.10-power53 so it overwrites the existing omap_hsmmc.so file, and reboot.

Do you see /dev/mmcblk1p* devices? Do you know whether or not the issue you had was the sensor not working (it which case you would have gotten the messages mentioned in the first post in the kernel logs)?

ke-recv might still try to mount/unmount according to the sensor, so you might have to mount it manually then run something that keeps a file/directory open, so it can't be unmounted.

Sorry to re-hash this thread, but I too want to turn off the kernerl from caring about the back cover sensor. It's so I can get the N900 to see my SD card.

So you're saying that if we "ls -la /dev/mmcblk*" and all we see are mmcblk0p1, 0p2, etc and not mmcblk1p1, p2, etc then it's a hardware fault, a sensor fault? So we cannot get the N900 to see a memory card unless the hardware itself is fixed? If that's the case then my N900 is limited to 32gig - end of story.

Thanks

Hi there, I came here from this post:

Code:

https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1513639

I applied the module for power kernel, now I looks like the card is seen I /dev/ but:
1 .It is not seen in /etc/fstab
2. It cannot be mounted

Card itself is fine, I even tried to use different ones - same result.

And, shouldn't the card be mounted by pc when connected to the USB? Because im my case it isn't.

From my expireince - it is hardware failure (The reader itself probably). I can tell since I have no detection in /dev/ but after applying the patch provided, card is detected.
