I don't have that problem, luckily, but a different one...

Sometimes kernel doesn't want to recognize the SM card in reader, and I have to reinsert it, sometimes several times. In 2.4, one `eject /dev/sda` fixes the problem, in 2.6 not any more. But reinserting always helps... obviously, not ideal too, but it works for me.
