Subject: SD Card Will Only Mount Once Per Boot

After Boot, I insert an SD Card into the reader. Shortly afterward, I
see it mounted as a 1 GB Filesystem on my desktop. It is completely
usable at that time.

I right click it and select Safely Remove. I then remove the card from
the reader.

A bit later, I reinsert the card (or another one). Nothing happens, the
card does not get mounted anywhere.

The card will not mount again until I boot the system. There might be
something else that would restore it, but I have no idea what that would
be. After I reboot, the above sequence can be repeated ... ONCE. After
it is removed, it is unusable until the machine is rebooted.

There HAS to be something else that would work. I'd be happy with a
manual way to mount / unmount it - ANYTHING is better than this. I've
tried googling for these symptoms without help.

Can anyone help?

Which version of Ubuntu, which kernel, etc.? I had a similar problem with 
CD/DVD drives behaving as you describe. It was finally fixed with a new 
kernel and was on Lucid x64.
