[plug] [OT] CF Card Reader dead

[Jon Miller]

Using RH8 I did the following:
plugged in the CF and card
restarted the PC
It auto detected the usb port and reader
ran the command "mount" and saw usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
ran the command mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb and it mounted the device.

I had read somewhere that sometime you have to reboot the PC to get it to read the device.  No pretty but it works.

And if you make it work, I'd like to know how...
