as someone once upon a time pointed out, the multi-card readers 
represent a multi-LUN SCSI device, so i added the following to
/etc/modprobe.conf

options scsi_mod max_luns=5  (or however many physical slots)

then, if you need to, rmmod that module, and insmod it again.  at that 
point, the module can handle a multi-LUN device like your card reader. 
when you insert the reader, /var/log/messages should give you some 
feedback and, in my case, i can mount my CF card as /dev/sdb1.
