You have tested your card reader with another card, and that proved that  
your card reader works?
Have you also tested the card (the one that doesn't work in your card  
reader) in another card reader?

The only time it happened to me that a card didn't work in my card reader,  
the card was broken (which I found out by testing it in other card  
readers), except one when I tried a Memory Stick card in my reader,  
because there is no Linux support for Memory Stick for my card reader…  
When you tested your card reader, did you test it with a Complact Flash  
card? Well, I don't know what kind of card reader you got, but most of  
them support many kinds of cards.
