Please try: # yum --enablerepo=*-testing update udev
I ran this, however I had already updated to the version in testing (udev-113- 8.fc7), so this only reported: Could not find update match or udev. Is there a newer version I should obtain somewhere else? Also, in fairness, I am only guessing that this is a udev problem, due to the recent problems everyone has had mounting disks; I was experiencing the same with an external HDD, and all those problems were corrected when I updated to this version of udev, however the card reader is still not working.

What kernel version is this happening with?
kernel-2.6.22.5-76.fc7 (ppc64) This has been an extremely intermittent problem on the PS3. With some kernels it has worked, others not, and I'm not entirely certain that udev isn't completely out of the blame. I tried with the latest rawhide kernel 2.6.23-0.189.rc6.git8.fc8 and it did not do any better.
I am not experiencing this problem on 2.6.22.9-91.fc7. udev.ppc 113-12.fc7 I have a used a SanDisk Cruzer Mini 1 GB USB Flash drive, Ativa 8 GB USB Flash drive, Kodak 1 GB SD card, Sandisk Extreme III 4 GB CF card, and Sony 1 GB Memory stick. All will automount when inserted. At one point I even had F7 installed using LVM over the 4 GB CF and 1 GB USB flash drive, but have since installed to the internal hard drive.
