I went into the dell website to install the ddp st and followed.
But again I have nothing to insert in there to test it.Download Now DELL E7240 SD CARD READER DRIVER The documentation calls this a 3-in-1 media card reader. There is also another smaller slot 20mm on the right hand side. I don't own anything that fits in there so I can't test it out. But its empty right now and just has a plastic placeholder in it. The documentation calls this a ExpressCard slot. There is some kind of slot about 55mm wide on the right hand side above the HDD.

The windows drivers I used with ndiswrapper are the windows XP drivers from Dell. I used the following HOWTO to get it going: My wireless is working perfectly using ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant.
How to disable MSIs for the SB600 SATA controller only? (Instead of the entire PCI bus) How to disable the ide_disk, generic, ide_generic modules from the kernel command line rather than having to compile a new kernel?Ģ. Then I just had to manually edit /etc/fstab and change the appropriate /dev/hdaX entries to /dev/sdaX so all the other partitions would mount properly. (root=/dev/hda2 becomes root=/dev/sda2) pci=nomsi is still required.
So back to the kernel command line and change the h to s in root=/dev/hdaX. It found the SB600 controller ok but /dev/hda turned into /dev/sda. config) I then booted with this kernel using pci=nomsi on the kernel command line. So I compiled a new kernel based on the debian 2.6.18-4-amd64 kernel but without the following modules selected: ide_disk, generic,ide_generic (BLK_DEV_IDEDISK, IDE_GENERIC, BLK_DEV_GENERIC respectively in. To complicate things further the AHCI SATA driver does not seem to work properly with the SB600 if MSIs are enabled. The first seems to be the ide_generic or generic IDE driver and the second is the AHCI SATA driver. It seemed like this was being caused by some drivers that were in conflict for the SB600 controller. The really odd thing is that if I rebooted the machine usually once or twice (never more than three times) it would boot up normally.
60-70% of the time the laptop would boot up normally and the other 30-40% of the time it would pause and give me repeating messages like:Īta1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)Īta1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x104)Īnd then it would dump me to an (initramfs) prompt, presumably unable to mount the root filesystem, in my case /dev/hda2. After having reported the installation a complete success (except for the wireless which needed ndiswrapper module), I started seeing some odd behavior during boot up over the next few days.
