Doc, What messages are you getting in /var/log/messages when you insert the card? The easiest way to do this is to ctrl-alt-f10 and you get a live reading of system messages. Go to the message terminal and insert your card. You should get something there when trying to mount it that might give you or us more of a clue.
Also, you haven't updated "hotplug" lately have you by doing an online update? If you have the -32.22 build installed, go back to the version on your 9.1 discs to see if that helps.

From my notes:
linux kernel: sda: assuming drive cache: write through linux submountd: unable to determine filesystem type linux submountd: mount failure, Success linux kernel: subfs: unsuccessful attempt to mount media (256)
What is up with "mount failure, Success" ? Isn't that an oxymoron?
;-)
BTW: What is the best way to get out of ctrl-alt-f10 ?
I tried all sorts of keys and combinations and somehow got lucky, hopefully not harming anything along the way!

Sorry, thought you knew how to maneuver around your terminal screens. :o) Here's a list: ctrl-alt-F1-F6 gives you your basic text terminals ctrl-alt-F7 or F8 moves you between your two X sessions with F7 being your main. ctrl-alt-F10 to your message screen So it seems it's not mounting the device and that would indicate you might have the bad hotplug version, did you check that?
