Compaq CQ57 Internal SD card reader not recognized by gparted, parted, or fdisk

[rokytnji]

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.
