Hi again,
For the corresponding SD card (slot "SD/mini MMC/RS") i have not kernel messages
(dmesg), it's not reacting upon insertion. It's true that the LED light is "on"
once inserted, no false electronic contact assumed and not flashing as expected
like CF card on detecting/mounting stage. I also use that SD card (and others)
on a Nikon digital camera and in a Palm TT3) without problems, but not working
at the momment in the actual card reader neither in the other card reader in
different host (it's not a TEAC mode but results are the same).
The following is for a COMPACT FLASH card in the same card reader (slot "CF/MD")
and it is working as expected (led's on, flashing when aoutomounted):
dmesg output:

It's strange because only the SD slot/card is affected and not all the card
reader types (well only i tried with CF/MD) and the card reader is detected by
the kernel as previously noted with the TEAC brand.
Further info, it's a Dell Dimension 3100 with corresponding card reader. The
other host has a different card reader but the same card formats, and also
failed with SD cards.
Thank again for hints folks
Cheers Matt
Jose.
