Using /dev/sda won't work.  The way my 6-in-1 works is each slot appears 
like a different partition.  However I've only used the CF slot for now. 
  I tried to use it with an SD card months ago with RH9 and it didn't work.

That's probably part of it.  Try /dev/sda1 ... /dev/sda6 and see if any 
of those work.

If not, then try getting a different 6-in-1 reader.  The first one I had 
didn't work with Linux no matter what I did.  I returned it and got this 
one and it's worked perfectly, at least with CF cards.
