[Gllug] SanDisk SDDR-31 card reader and Linux

[Eric Lee]

My SanDisk SDDR-31 is not successfully reading a Compact Flash card in
my Linux PC, running Red Hat 7.3.

I know that the CF card is fine, as I can read it through my Hp
PhotoSmart 7550 printer.

I know that the SanDisk SDDR-31 works, because I connected it with no
problem to my Windows PC and it read the card.

I ran mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/cf, and here's what I see in
/var/logs/messages:

Any ideas?  Thanks.
