Comment 18 for bug 159951

Thanks Colin,

I have tried both the LiveCD and doing a dist-upgrade to 8.04 but now I just get:

tifm_core: MemoryStick card detected in socket 0:0

I've tried an insmod tifm_ms (guessing that module is needed for the memory stick card but get insmod: can't read 'tifm_ms': No such file or directory

More output in case it helps:

If there is anything else I can run or try out (my personal laptop can be quite experimental - as it dual boots Vista (which is far less stable/robust than the Alpha of 8.04 - which says a lot!!) as happy to be a guinea pig to get this working!
