The issue everyone was poking at was the order of actions. If you run "dmesg|tail" first before inserting the card then that is before and there won't be any messages about it yet. Instead the order would be to insert the card first and then run dmesg afterward to see what output it produced. But that output may be slow to be emitted over time. I think it is better to tail the syslog file. AFAIK /var/log/syslog would would have all of the same information as dmesg and so tail'ing with -f it would give real-time coverage of the messages and no need to repeatedly run the dmesg command.
