My experience with this is that this message means that the media

I just tried mounting the card reader on my system when it was not
in the slot and I got your message exactly. Pop it in the slot and
it works.
So, I think your problem is that /dev/sda1 is not the correct device.
Or all the needed drivers are not present to make the device function.
You have loaded these modules?
scsi_mod
usb-storage
When I get home, I will see what device I am using for the mount. I
will send you an e-mail from there.
On a different system I have here I have a PCMCIA SanDisk card reader
and have this in /etc/fstab:
/dev/hde1 /mnt/camera msdos defaults,user,noauto 0 0
I think you should add this to yours (based on your other comments - a
subsequent e-mail will clarify which device I am using at home with
my USB-based device):
/dev/sda1 /carddisk msdos defaults,user,noauto 0 0
Then, you can even make a nice ICON on the desktop. Use the menu you
get when you press the right mouse button on the desktop (not on a
window): Creat New -> Floppy Device
Your entry in /etc/fstab will magically be available in the menu in
the 'Device' tab. Just select your device and it fills in the blanks.
Quite nice.
Then, just click on the newly created icon to mount/unmount the card.
Once again, check out the right mouse button over the newly created icon.
Hope this helps. This assumes a rather new KDE, like 2.0 or later. I
don't remember if eD 2.4's stock KDE has this. But the KDE RPMs from
Caldera for 2.4 has this.
