did anyone hear that poping sound?  It was my head exiting my butt.  I turned 
off the digest mode thanks for the advice Geoff.  now about my SD card 
problem.  Here is the (abreviated) cut and paste from my post last night

Vern, I followed your directions and the card is recognized by my system when 
using the  'tail -f /var/log/messages' command.  here is the output

with card unpluged:

May 31 22:29:11 toddwbucy-laptop kernel: [12523.600000] tifm0 : demand 
removing card from socket 0:0

card pluged in:
May 31 22:30:05 toddwbucy-laptop kernel: [12577.600000] tifm_core: 
SmartMedia/xD card detected in socket 0:0

This seems to be a good sign so I went on with your edit suggestion in fstab

here is a current coppy of my fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
# /dev/sda1

# /dev/sda3

# /dev/sda2

0       0
/dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0

/dev/sdd1      /media/card_reader      auto users,noauto,rw 0       0

I then created the directory that you suggested and tried to mount the device 
like you suggested.  Unfortuately it came up with an error. 

error output:
~$ mount /media/card_reader
[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab
[mntent]: line 13 in /etc/fstab is bad
mount: can't find /media/card_reader in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

I feel like I almost have it fixed but my knowledge of fstab is quite limited.  
I did notice though that the other devices in my fstab all have UUIDs.  could 
this be causing the problem?  if so how do I find out what the UUID is for my 
sd card reader?

Thanks again guys for your paitence and help
Todd
