Recently I tried to get a USB multiple card reader working with my laptop running Linux 2.6.9. I got similar messages as the ones you and Dr. Manalastas posted, which are caused by the ub driver. I searched around and many users suggested doing two things. First, one must disable the ub driver completely. I had it compiled as a module instead of statically, but this wasn't enough because hotplug would insist on loading the ub module as soon as I plugged the hardware in. Second, one must enable scanning of multiple LUNs for SCSI. With both these changes implemented, plugging the multiple card reader worked fine. Hotplug loaded the usb-storage driver, which scanned all the readers and created the necessary sdX device nodes in /dev. I figure the same solution will help you with your "Guru" thumbdisk. I have no problems getting thumbdisks working with my laptop.
