I have a USB card reader that doesn't mount. I tried the steps listed
previously and can't determine the device to use. Here's the output
from /var/log/messages:

Is there a device name that I missed?

Should I be concerned about the message "Driver 'sd' needs updating -
please use bus_type methods"?

Thanks.
