Comment 5 for bug 1564639

And I forgot to mention the fact that there is nothing wrong with the xD smartcard medium which I inserted. This very same medium was recently read in Windows XP without any problems. However, its partition table appears to be unreadable within this particular Linux distribution for some reason. In addition, years ago, this same device was functioning perfectly out-of-the-box within openSUSE 10.2 (i.e., when hal played a role); the card's partition was even automounted, and its contents were displayed automatically within a konqueror window. Unfortunately, since then, it hadn't worked at all within any newer version of Linux that was tested; in some distributions, inserting the medium even caused the system to crash.

I hope this helps.
