 I'm running with mythbuntu plus deb packages available at
 http://www.avenard.org/media/Ubuntu_Repository/Ubuntu_Repository.html

 I have on my box a card reader which supports several memory stick types.

 I've I enable "use new media" in the frontend configuration, I get errors
 on starting the frontend "Failed to mount device: /dev/sde" ... but I
 don't have any media inserted.

 It looks like myth belives the card reader has media present when it
 hasn't.

 On stdout I see :-

Comment:

 OK. Other users have had similar problems: http://www.gossamer-
 threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/293227?search_string=system%20flash%20drive%20and%20mythgallery;#293227
 so I guess further debugging is needed. 1) Can you please provide
 mythfrontend -v media output. 2) What does udevinfo -q all -rp /block/sdb
 thru sde reveal? 3) What about udevinfo -q all -rp /block/sdb/sdb1 4) What
 version of hotplug/udev. 5)Does this card reader ever mount drives
 properly on MythBuntu? 6) In that situation, what are the mountpoints,
 what does the mounting, et c.
