SDHC SD card in Devuan

Devuan can read an older SD card in my laptop's internal SD card reader. But when I try an SDHC I card it does "see" it, sudo fdisk -l does not list it. I've tried a lot of modprobe commands recommended on forums but nothing has worked. Maybe the reader...my laptop is too old, but I'd like to try. The only mention of it on my system seems to be when I run $ sudo dmesg | grep sdhci. Any ideas or need more info please let me know.

$ lspci | grep Ricoh
02:06.0 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev b9)
02:06.1 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev b9)
02:06.2 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C832 IEEE 1394 Controller (rev 03)
02:06.3 SD Host controller: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter (rev 20)
02:06.5 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C592 Memory Stick Bus Host Adapter (rev 10)
02:06.6 System peripheral: Ricoh Co Ltd xD-Picture Card Controller (rev 10)

$ lsmod |egrep 'mmc|sdhci|ricoh'
sdhci_pci              28672  0
sdhci                  40960  1 sdhci_pci
mmc_core              118784  2 sdhci,sdhci_pci

The $ sudo dmesg | grep sdhci output is very long so I'll give a representative snip:

Re: SDHC SD card in Devuan

Going through SD stuff myself for 1st time.  I am using an SDHC (the tiny thing) with an SD adapter.

I am not having any problems with HC itself, if that helps.  My hardware is a newer laptop as well as an old Windows 7 era asus netbook.  No problem with SDHC on either.  Log files dont reveal much, kern.log entry after insertion:

Sorry can help with actual problem, just wanted to report SDHC works here.  Devuan Beowulf.

Re: SDHC SD card in Devuan

Suddenly today it worked.
