Ubuntu release: 8.10

Bug summary: When I plug a CF card in a CF-to-USB adapter into any USB
port, no new drive icon appears on the desktop and no dialog or window
pops up. The CF card is a 1GB ByteStor Hi-Speed CompactFlash. The
adapter is unbranded. I expect the card to auto-mount like all the
other USB flash drives I use.
Things I tried:
I rebooted the computer into Windows XP and plugged in the same CF card
and adapter. Windows recognized the card and opened an Explorer window
showing the files on it.
Back in Ubuntu, I tried plugging in two other USB mass storage devices:
a pen drive, and an SD card in an SD-to-USB adapter. Both were
recognized by Ubuntu: a drive icon appeared on the desktop and a dialog
or window popped up.
I checked the dmesg output after plugging in the CF card. Here is the
relevant part:
[ 2101.216015] usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5
[ 2102.090656] usb 3-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 2102.120098] scsi7 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices

[ 2107.207667] sd 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0
The dmesg output implies (at least to a layman like me) that a new
removable disk has been attached to sdb. However, gparted shows only
the fixed drive on sda. There is no mention of any sdb.
