For Keith McKenzie's information the card I bought was designed in the U.S. of A., made in China and branded in Thailand: Anitech All in One CardReader, seems to read all cards currently in captivity, very small (68 x 36 x 12 mm), comes in three decorator colours (pink, blue and white, I chose a blue one), paid 250 baht for it (CAD8.30, USD ±2% of CAD amount). I plugged in to a USB port, installed in it a CF and a SDHC card and ran command blkid. It assigned /dev/sdb1 to the SDHC card and /dev/sdc1 to the CF card. I then modified /etd/fstab accordingly, opened Konqueror and voilà! I was able to open both cards and copy photos from the SDHC card to the the CF card. The fact that blkid was able to identify these cards but not a SD card in the built-in slot, and that this fault came completely out of the blue without any software changes, reinforces my opinion (and John Jason Jordan's as well?) that the cause of inability to mount and read a card in that built-in slot was hardware failure. Surely if the hardware were in order blkid would have identified the card in that slot and assigned /dev/mmcblk0p1 to it, as was done in the past. Camaléon's latest suggestions are worth trying to determine whether the cause is a software malfunction rather than a hardware failure. To do so however I would have to wait until I upgrade the laptop from Lenny to Squeeze, as he suggests I use an updated kernel. I will not be able to do the upgrade before May.
