can't read sdcard

So I have been having some fun and success getting Slitaz (core64) booting UEFI on my Acer laptop. Now I'm struggling with how to get the SDcard reader working. I've installed linux-mmc and tried to install mmc_block module, but the module does not exist in the modules supplied with my version.

# uname -a

Linux slitaz 3.16.55-slitaz64 #2 SMP Sat Aug 1 11:47:34 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux

# ls /lib/modules

3.16.55-slitaz64     3.18.129-gnu-slitaz

modprobe doesn't find any mmc_block module in 3.16.55-slitaz64 but it does exist in

3.18.129-gnu-slitaz

Re: can't read sdcard

I did some more investigating and here is a section of the /lib/modules/3.18.129-gnu-slitaz/modules.order file:

kernel/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci.ko

kernel/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-pci.ko

kernel/drivers/mmc/host/wbsd.ko

kernel/drivers/mmc/host/tifm_sd.ko

kernel/drivers/mmc/host/sdricoh_cs.ko

kernel/drivers/mmc/host/cb710-mmc.ko

kernel/drivers/mmc/host/via-sdmmc.ko

kernel/drivers/mmc/host/vub300.ko

kernel/drivers/mmc/host/ushc.ko

kernel/drivers/mmc/host/usdhi6rol0.ko

kernel/drivers/mmc/host/rtsx_pci_sdmmc.ko

kernel/drivers/mmc/host/rtsx_usb_sdmmc.ko

kernel/drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-pltfm.ko

kernel/drivers/mmc/core/mmc_core.ko

kernel/drivers/mmc/card/mmc_block.ko

kernel/drivers/mmc/card/sdio_uart.ko

This is the i386 version. It will read sdcards by default. However the only driver in the x64 version is /lib/3.16.55-slitaz64/kernel/drivers/mmc/host/sdricoh_cs.ko which I believe is a camera card reader. What happened to the missing drivers??

I'd compile a new kernel myself if I had any idea how to do it.
