as someone once upon a time pointed out, the multi-card readers
represent a multi-LUN SCSI device, so i added the following to
/etc/modprobe.conf
options scsi_mod max_luns=5 (or however many physical slots)
then, if you need to, rmmod that module, and insmod it again. at that
point, the module can handle a multi-LUN device like your card reader.
when you insert the reader, /var/log/messages should give you some
feedback and, in my case, i can mount my CF card as /dev/sdb1.
