The new address is probably the problem. My card reader will move
sometimes too. Even knowing where it is doesn't help until I do:
# fdisk -l /dev/sdx (where x= what I see from fdisk -l /dev/sd).
This will list the partition on the card and I can now mount it with:
# mount -t vfat /dev/sdx1 /mnt/<somewhere>
I've tried to solve the problem myself without success. Hope this
helps for now.
