Since it is a multi-card reader, it is probably a multi-lun device. Try adding "options scsi_mod max_luns=5" (replacing 5 with the number of slots) in your /etc/modprobe.conf.
you stud. i just did this manually with:
# modprobe scsi_mod max_luns=5 (i guess i could have used 3 here)
then connected the reader with a FAT-formatted CF card already in it, and got:

and mounted /dev/sdb1 just fine. boy, wouldn't it have been great if this had been in a wiki somewhere? :-P
If that works, put an RFE in bugzilla to get your device added to the whitelist.
yeah ... bugzilla ... RFE ... whitelist ... ok, i'll figure that out.
rday
p.s. is there some way to list the options with which a module was loaded? "lsmod" shows me scsi_mod, but i don't see an easy way of listing that it was loaded with a given max_luns value of 5. perhaps something under /proc?
