SD Card Reader not being recognized

Hmm... I'm wary of that since there were so many other issues with 
Fedora that I encountered which motivated me to come to CentOS in the 
first place.

Nothing happens if I run the command and then insert a card.
However, if I remove the card reader from the USB Port and put it back 
in, I get this:

Aug  2 19:34:51 localhost kernel: usb 1-1.1: new full speed USB device 
using address 9

Storage devices

Aug  2 19:35:06 localhost kernel: Device not ready.  Make sure there is 
a disc in the drive.

Judging by that last line, it might seem as though something is wrong 
with the card. So I tested other cards, and also verified that the cards 
could be read by both Windows and my Palm Pilot. The cards definitely 
have data on them. It's CentOS that can not read them.

Here is the output from that:

It's all Greek to me. But I don't see anything that looks like an SD 
card in there.
