I have had the same problem since upgrading to os 10.2.4.  I went back 
to 10.2.3 and it worked fine.  I then upgraded to 10.2.5 from 10.2.3 
using the combo updater and the problem came back.  The only work 
around I found is to restart the computer just before I insert the card 
and then the card will mount ok.  If the computer has be running awhile 
before I insert the card the computer will totally freeze.  I have 
since gone back to 10.2.3 and things are ok.
