I have an HP hdx9494 (Dragon). I am running 32 bit F8 with all the
applied updates.

My system mounts, reads and writes SD cards correctly, at least those
that are formatted FAT32. I haven't tried other types. It does this in
KDE. I haven't tried gnome.
The thing about Live CDs is that they don't use the latest available
kernels. They usually use the kernel that was available at the time the
distro shipped. A newer kernel may help your situation, or it may not.
Good luck.
