Description Jory A. Pratt gentoo-dev 2009-08-27 16:50:30 UTC
Current install media does not support using the mmc device in some laptops. On my asus g1s it requires that the sdhci module initialize my controller before I can use any cards. 

CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG=y
CONFIG_MMC=y
# CONFIG_MMC_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME is not set
# MMC/SD/SDIO Card Drivers
CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK=y
CONFIG_MMC_BLOCK_BOUNCE=y
# CONFIG_MMC_TEST is not set
# MMC/SD/SDIO Host Controller Drivers
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI=y
CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_PCI=y
CONFIG_MMC_RICOH_MMC=y
# CONFIG_MMC_WBSD is not set
# CONFIG_MMC_TIFM_SD is not set

This is my basic setup to enable my mmc controller. Would be great to see support for the install media.

Jory,

the current specs have this options set as a module. Does it really need to be built into the kernel?

I have not looked at the current specs, but if it is a module that is fine close the bug.

I'm closing the bug as I've verified the MMC support is already active as a module in the kernel specs for both amd64 and x86.
