Listed below is the output of lsblk, only the 64 GB internal drive is showing. Secure boot is disabled in the BIOS.
While doing some more searching about this I came across the following:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204003
This kernel.org bug report concerns the card readers of Intel NUC PCs not being recognized and indicates that the issue seems to be kernel specific. However, I don't believe that it's a kernel issue in my case and here's why. I booted a live USB of LL 5.2 on a Lenovo 120S 14 inch laptop and the card reader was recognized. But the card reader is not recognized on my Lenovo 100S, either on the current install, or on a live USB boot (which I just tried).
I did notice that on the USB boot on the 120S that several rtsx modules were loaded, while on both the installed, and USB boot of my 100S no rtsx modules are loaded. Would these modules not being loaded have an impact ?

I'm starting to think that this laptop must be jinxed.
When I try to install 4.8.0 I get a message that there was an error downloading and installing the kernel. The message also asks if I want to view the logs. I click yes and the log window comes up, but, it is empty, there's nothing at all in the log. Have you ever heard of this occurring before ?

Not with Kernel tools - I have used multiple times...
Did you install LL5.x with UEFI enabled and SecureBoot disabled -- this would be the ideal/preferred... For 64-bit UEFI...
OR
Did you install "Legacy" where UEFI is disabled (hence legacy BIOS) ?
If secureboot is enable - the card will not be read at boot and ?maybe? be causing some grief....
I'm also seeing where the 100S may have came with a 64 bit OS 32 bit UEFI (hybrids) - again curious on install...
hhhmmmm

LL 5.2 was installed on the 100S-14IBR with UEFI enabled and Secure Boot disabled.
Can you point me to where you are seeing the 64/32 information, this is the first that I've heard of it for this PC.
Interestingly, I have LL 5.2 installed on an ASUS X205TA which is a 64/32 hybrid. The installation went off without a hitch, all I needed to do was to change one setting in Rufus when copying the image to the USB drive. The card reader on the ASUS does work, however bluetooth does not work, but, that's another story...
Given the above information regarding UEFI and Secure Boot, any thoughts on what I can try next for the card reader ? Also, what do you make of me being unable to switch kernels and the log being blank ? I just tried Lite Tweaks again and the result was exactly the same.

I'll try to find where I saw the 32bit... its a long shot... If you look here you can see the commands to install the kernels...

**UPDATE**
Came across this https://askubuntu.com/questions/787088/sd-card-reader-not-detected-in-ubuntu-16-04
may also be worth a try.. the reinstall udisks...
Re: micro SD cards not recognized - WytWun - 03-11-2021
The issue with the 32bit UEFI on 64bit capable systems is fairly specific to systems with the intel Baytrail/Cherrytrail Atom CPUs - such as the 100s-11IBY I mentioned (and have posted about in other UEFI related threads). The OP's 100s-14IBR has an intel Braswell CPU and I believe all those have 64bit UEFI.
As best I can tell, there's something very specifically different with the OP's system which is going to require a fairly detailed review using all the details available from tools like lspci to identify. As the Lenovo Windows card reader driver is for Realtek hardware, the intel SD card reader support mentioned in other sources is at best only part of the picture and likely completely misleading. There is a Realtek MMC PCI (as well as USB) driver included in the config as a module. The final answer is I'd guess likely to involve having to specify a kernel option via Grub, but exactly what that would be needs more research.
I'd hoped my 100s-IBY would be close enough hardware-wise to help, but it apparently isn't
Re: micro SD cards not recognized - firenice03 - 03-12-2021
Perhaps in my searching - the models crisscrossed relating to the 32-bit.. .
As in the link - I think the earlier kernel may have the driver loaded - which if tests out, it may hopefully point out that drive - then attempting to add to a later...
But then becomes - why cant a different kernel be loaded..

Thank you for the input, and the help. As you will see in my next post, I can't install the 4.8.0 kernel, to see if that rectifies the problem, from either Lite Tweaks or the command line.

Reinstalled udisks and there was no change.
Tried to install the 4.8.0 kernel from the command line and the results are below. I'm thinking that the reason that I couldn't install the kernel from Lite Tweaks is the same as the reason listed below, although the Lite Tweaks log was blank. Would you interpret the command line messages for me ? They are over my head at this point in time. Would a reinstall of LL 5.2 correct what is showing in the command line messages, which would then allow me to install 4.8.0 to give it a try ?
