However, when I try to mount the same card using the Olympus USB card reader it won't mount. In the Control Center the card reader shows up under both "Available Hardware" and "USB Devices." It doesn't show under either partitions or block devices, although the camera does. But when I try to mount the reader as /dev/sda1 I first got the message, "/dev/sda1 is not a valid block device." More recently I've got the message, "No medium found"
When I try to mount the card reader as /media/sda1 I get the message, "/media/sda1 is not a block device" (sda1 now stays in /media as an empty directory)
Does anybody have any suggestions as to where I might go from here to get the card/card reader mounted? (I know the card reader works because it will mount on my laptop under Win2K--getting SuSE to run successfully on that machine is another project.)

Hi George, When your USB card reader is attached to the computer and the memory card inserted into it, try running usbview and see if the device is listed as usb-storage. Make sure that the usb-storage module is loaded. If so, try "fdisk -l" and see if you see something other than a known disk (that'll quite likely be your mount device). I would also double check to see that your particular USB card reader is supported by Linux.
