Most likely the slot reader uses an SD host controller (this should
appear in lspci output), not the USB bus. dmesg, kern.log may give you
some clues, but the real problem may be SDHC vs. SD, as Winfried already
pointed out.

no luck with either, but I think someone else found the answer.. I need a HCSD
reader. I actually found another way around it. I put the card in my portable
Iriver MP3 player, plugged IT into my PC, and was able to see it, and copy
files ( MY MUSIC! ) to it. Which is what I wanted to do in the first place. I
didn't know the original card readers didn't go above 4Gb..

Be aware it is HCSD (High Capacity Secure Digital). Sandisk sells HCSD
cards with a small USB HCSD reader. They are quite practical.
