Hello,
I've got an usb multi-card reader. The device does work, however since I run
Gentoo it behaves a little different than before. Previously the reader would
be indentified on boot (usually reserving /dev/sda to /dev/sdd). I set up
those drives in /etc/fstab and created devices on the desktop to mount them
as user.
Since using Gentoo the reader apparently is not seen on boot (if no card is
plugged in). When I plug a card in and try to mount it I get an error message
(no such device). However, if I open a shell, fdisk the device, quit fdisk
and close the shell, I can mount the card...
So my guess is that I am missing a small something in my setup but I can't
find what.
Note that this is annoying, not much more :)

Plug the card in and try to mount it and get the error then run:
lsmod | sort > /tmp/before
Then do the fdisk thing that gets it to work and run:
lsmod | sort > /tmp/after
Now you can use vimdiff (or another diff)
vimdiff /tmp/before /tmp/after
This will show you if any module gets loaded that makes it work. If you
find a module in after but not in before, add it to
/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
