Did you look into the logs? Were there messages from hotplug? Did you look at /dev/sd* ? Was it possibly the case that no such device /dev/sd* existed before you plugged your new reader into the USB port and one or more did appear a couple of seconds after you plugged it in? Does "usbview" show you any device on the USB bus? I know that I can't solve your problem, but maybe these things lead you in the right direction. Narfi.
