Hi, again!
Glad to help if I can!
It's difficult for me to figure out why is that so difficult to use an external card reader.
The chosen path, (kernel change) has an obvious downside: all kernels and even the OSes, have an EOL that is mostly very close to "NOW".
Assuming Jerry will find the time to fix the kernel bug (and I am sure it's a taugh task...). you will end up with a working OLD system, that is rapidly getting to an end (EOL).
Given this situation, the only available choice is to give up any internet related tasks, since the software is already outdated and this will lead to an endless list of errors of all kinds, in time.
I'd rather find a solution to use a newer version and the external reader would be another solution.
Since the information about the machine is missing, it's difficult to find a working solution for a "black box".
Maybe you can spare some minutes to issue an

Code:

inxi -c 0 -ACdGMNSz

This command will give us enough info to search and eventually, find a "scalable" solution. I used quotes, since "scalable" here, referes only to a newer OS version.
Since I assume the computer is old, maybe would be useful as an idea, if I tell you that I've been using a Lenovo ThinkPad T400, standard configuration (4 GB RAM DDR II), for all kind of tasks, including video and audio editing and the last installation, was Linux Lite 5.0 and worked fine. I was lazy enough though, to skip the upgrade, since I now use the Dell T1700 as primary machine.
Another issue that might prevent you from using an external card reader, might be the number of USB slots. Well, a good hub solves this. I use lots of USB devices so I had to deal with that myself.
But unless we know the exact configuration of the machine, it's all guesswork...

That is all I could figure out so far.
Hope you'll be "up and running" ASAP!

Best regards!
