This is wierd. I've got a multicard reader installed on my Fedora 14 system. If I insert an SD card, it gets recognized and mounted right away. If I unmount the card, remove it, and reinsert it, the system does nothing. No entries in the messages file about the device or anything. If I want to use the SD card again, I have to reboot.
Has anyone seen something like this before? Ideas on how to debug the problem?
If you could provide some more info it would be helpful.
Regarding your multicard reader - is it a built-in device or an external device (USB I assume) ? Start from the very beginning by rebooting your machine with the reader. Show us that part of dmesg where the reader got recognized. Also, if a USB device, show us: $ lsusb $ lsusb -v -d vendor:productID where vendor:productID obtained from lsusb
Now, insert your SD (it gets mounted, you say). Show us: $ mount
Then, when you say you unmount it, do you do it in Nautilus or manually in term ?
After that, check once again: $ mount and check if your card reader is still recognized by the system: $ lsusb Also check anything related in: # tail /var/log/messages
