My Acer Aspire 5930G has an internal 5-in-1 card reader. Testing with an SD card (no alternative media available), the reader is only listed by lspci if the SD card is present in the reader at boot time. Boot time dmesg attached.

Now if an SD card was present at boot time, I can remove the SD, and dmesg will report

[ 164.613053] mmc0: card db81 removed

If I reinsert it, dmesg will say

[ 179.271670] mmc0: new SD card at address db81
[ 179.276522] mmcblk0: mmc0:db81 SD512 500224KiB
[ 179.276522] mmcblk0: p1

and gnome will display an SD drive icon on my desktop and ask if any files should be imported.

But nothing of all that happens if the SD card was not already in the card reader at boot time!
