Well, here is what dmesg showed for a CF card in a Y-E Data Hexa Media card reader.  I am running an older kernel, revision 2.4.18 (TurboLinux)

hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1, assigned device number 2
usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x57b/0x20) is not claimed by any active driver.
Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
usb.c: registered new driver usb-storage
scsi1 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-uhci.c: interrupt, status 3, frame# 1599
  Vendor: Y-E DATA  Model: CF Card Reader    Rev: 1.05
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
SCSI device sda: 32000 512-byte hdwr sectors (16 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
 sda: sda1
WARNING: USB Mass Storage data integrity not assured
USB Mass Storage device found at 2
USB Mass Storage support registered.

The CF card slot was mapped to "sda", and the CF card had one partition which was mapped to sda1.

BTW, my syslog.conf file is set to record .debug level messages.

You can also try this: plug in your keitai to USB, then do:
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

This lists about 9 or 10 lines of information for each usb device.  What is listed for the keitai?

Hope this helps,
jimb.
