Comment 37 for bug 199215

I too am having a very similar problem. It is occurring on a Gateway M320 laptop. Automounting of SD cards worked in 7.10 and earlier releases (at least back to 6.06, I believe), but is not working with 8.04.1 (fully updated), and I don't believe it has worked in 8.04 at any point. The reader is internal, which came with this laptop. I'm posting the files and outputs recommended by the "DebuggingRemovableDevices" page in the wiki. Hope this helps.
