This does not seem related :
Dec  9 16:54:18 alan-ubuntu kernel: [74689.105321] sd 147:0:0:0:
Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0
Dec  9 16:54:18 alan-ubuntu kernel: [74689.116033] sd 147:0:0:0: [sdb]
Attached SCSI removable disk

a minute later and nothing new.  It is now 3 or 4 minutes after that stamp.

It has worked in this system all long - used it regularly under
windows.  And as mentioned, this very same card worked under Ubuntu
Live CD

I should probably boot the LIve CD right now and check again.   MIght do that.
