I've got an old Sandisk ImageMate SDDR-05a, a simple usb device to read compact flash memory cards, with an eject button. It used to "just work" with RedHat 8/9 and kernel ~2.4.20. I hadn't used it in months, and have since installed Gentoo and kernel 2.6.(1,3,5). Now it doesn't work anymore. Most times it detects the device and loads the usb-storage and scsi_mod modules, but no scsi partitions show up in /proc/partitions. Sometimes they do show, but I can't mount them. Here are the relavent lines in dmesg when I can see sda1 and try to mount:

The card still works for my camera and with the Sandisk reader in Windows. I can't think of much to try. I goggled and found kernel patches for the SDDR-05b (no eject button), but not much for SDDR-05a. Does anyone else have this device? Anything else I can check out? If not, I'll just go to Fry's and buy a different card reader.
