Only get sda1, which is the compact flash card.  The SD memory slot is 
not picked up by udev.

Here is some information from my system log.

Here is the scsi module loading.  It did not understand the command.

I'm running the following Fedora 3 kernel.

Nov 16 21:13:38 www kernel: Linux version 2.6.9-1.667 
(bhcompile at tweety.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 
3.4.2-6.fc3)) #1 Tue Nov 2 14:41:25 EST 2004

Any other suggestions?

Dwaine.
