What is the exact make and model of the computer?
I want to look at the bios setup and see if there are any settings for the card reader.
It's an HP Pavillion a6847c, I think. But if something was set incorrectly in the BIOS, wouldn't that affect its performance under Windows, as well? I've never had a problem with the reader working under Windows. (And just to be sure, I've never changed anything in the BIOS settings for this tower, either.)

I'm rather curious as to what happens if you attempt mounting one of these created device nodes. This will mount as read-only in the terminal.
That exact command? It just returns this:
Code: Select all
mount-FULL: /dev/device: can't find in /etc/fstab.
I tried it with sdd and sdd1, as well, with the same result.

This is from a old post talking about the same issue in Bionicpup
I believe you have provided the answer!! This command in a terminal:
Code: Select all
udevadm trigger --action=add --type=devices
seems to be the key.
After a normal boot (without SD card, I can then insert SD or xD card and it detects the card as long as I enter the command on the console.
They did not provide anymore info, on a better fix, than entering a terminal command, after inserting a SD card.
I tried the command, but before inserting a card.
I entered the command, closed the terminal, then tried inserting a card. Nothing happened (no icon appearing on the desktop, nothing appearing in pmount, etc.)
Although, when I rebooted after all of the above, with the SD card inserted, the system 'froze' on the BIOS logo screen, as if it was expecting to boot from the SD card. It didn't progress until I removed the card, and now, it doesn't have sdd1 appear on the desktop if I have the card inserted when BionicPup loads (or in pmount). The system also seemed a little sluggish, at first.
