/sys/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0/* contains information regarding the device, however there is nothing
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0for me to mount, regardless of whether there is a card in the drive or not. I have hotplug enables, and inserting a card in the drive does not generate any new messages under dmesg (although verbosity stuff is not enabled). Is this device not yet supported, or am I missing something that I need to enable?
Jim,
Have a look in /var/log/messages for errors coming from the sd driver (e.g. it could be stuck on a READ CAPACITY or MODE SENSE command). Other than that it could be a problem with devfs. You could make a temporary device node (e.g. 'cd /root; mknod my_sda b 8 0') then try fdisk on my_sda.

I see the same problem here without devfs.
The device does not even register itself as a block device. I.e., on boot it is detected and listed as sda but no sda* device is a valid block device. /sys/block/ does not list it.
Also no errors in dmesg...
