Bug Description
gparted in Intrepid and Jaunty no longer shows mmcblk as a device (ie in the dropdown list on the right-hand side), so it can't format SD/SDHC cards. This is a regression from Hardy.
Version information for Jaunty:
ubuntu 9.04
kernel 2.6.28-9-generic
gparted 0.4.3-0ubuntu1
Additionally, Intrepid's fdisk command (2.6.27 kernel) does not even recognise the /dev/mmcblk0 device. 'fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0' shows correct details for it, but it doesn't show up with 'fdisk -l' or even 'sudo fdisk -l'. (fdisk was fixed in the 2.6.28-8-generic kernel in Jaunty.)
