I checked /proc/scsi/scsi 
	and all the devices in the reader are there 
I have been using the reader under Red Hat 8 but have been moving
everything over to my SuSE machines.  I checked and the device is lun3
/dev/sdd1 but I cant mount it.

Heres what happens:
	If I boot with the card reader attached the system hangs at "hardware
detection"  remove the device and CTRL+C and I finish booting.

Plug in my Melco card Reader and:

[usb-storage-0] shows up in the ps aux but as "SW" for its status
[scsi-eh-0] also shows up status "DW"

I try to "mount /dev/sdd1 /media/usb" and the mount goes into
uniterruptible status and so I loose the terminal

I try "hwinfo --usb" I get one line "SCSI.2:ioctl" and then that also
goes uniterruptible and I loose another terminal

after plugging in the reader I get the "/usr/sbin/hwscan --usb --fast"
line showing up in ps aux and its status is again "D" this remains until
I reboot I remove the reader and reattach and it starts all over again
with the old hwscan still there plus a new one.

I ran "hwscan --list" and it sees the "Melco CF card Reader", "Melco MS
card reader", "Melco xD/SM card reader", "Melco SD card reader" all with
cfg="new", available=no

I checked lsmod and usb-storage is loaded after attaching the card
reader

and yes multi LUN support is enabled in the kernel

So now I am confused....Does anyone have an idea why SuSE 8.2 hangs on
this reader but RedHat 8 works and how I can get this resolved so I can
ditch the old OS. (okay so SuSE 9 is out but I don't have my copy yet,
being in Japan SuSE only has one reseller here)

Any help appreciated
