For now. I use a usb to sd card adapter to use sd cards on this laptop. As lspci -knn shows. The card reader is unassigned by Linux-Lite kernel and no driver is loaded.

Gparted, parted -l, and fdisk -l will not show the card in my internal card reader.
Ubuntu says that this bug should be fixed in upstream kernels but I guess
something was missed somewhere, somehow?

md5sum checks were done before install.

Searching gives me,

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/02/card-...ini-ubuntu

and

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/down...Down=false

So this is where I am presently at on this problem

I am not liking the make errors so I am not proceeding any further with this problem till I hear some feedback on this.

Edit: Just to show I picked the right download I grabbed the

PCIE RTS5209 card reader driver for Linux V1.10 2012/7/12

on that realtek page.

Happy Trails, Rok

2nd Edit: Tried using a fix posted below

http://dainaccio.wordpress.com/2013/07/1.../#more-836

And changed the lines on

to remove __devinit keywords from rtsx.c file.
Open the file with a text editor and modify lines 916, 1080 and 1107:

But make still throws errors. At least I am trying.

This comment

@SamizdataDotOrg I got the same error. To fix it, I deleted the line .proc_name = .proc_name on line 274 of rtsx.c. After that, unload the dependencies and reload rts_pstor.

Did not help either.  So presently. I deleted the extracted folder I made changes to and re-extracted the .bz2 again to start from scratch.

Solved by installing a different kernel image and header. The 3.13 kernel that comes with Linux-Lite 2.0 also enables the internal card reader. So I will use 3.13 as a backup and just run the liqourox kernel till somebody comes up with a fix for the 3.15 or any later kernels
Linux-lite puts out. I have not tested this on My Dell XT2 install yet with it's internal sd card reader.

I have not really tested the liqourix dreamlinux kernel. I know it works good on my AntiX 13.2 Debian Stable install on my antique IBM T23 Laptop. If anyone else is reading this. I guess just go with the 3.13 that ships with this distro. I just don't feel like not having a backup kernel in case something goes wrong later in a upgrade. SD card now automounts just fine.

I am not marking this as solved yet because maybe someone will want me to test another i686 kernel on this 4 gig ram
Compaq CQ57 Laptop. I prefer not to keep the Liqourix kernel on here as that was only done as a test.

Edit/Update: Removed dreamlinux kernel. I did not trust that it might be compatible so I am just running one kernel

Oh Well. At least the internal card reader works now.
