No USB connection on the camera?

Same here. I have to tell fdisk to look at the card:
[eben@pc eben]$ /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 4 heads, 32 sectors, 978 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 128 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 978 62591+ 6 FAT16

Yes. If the card isn't in the first slot (whichever one that is), you won't
be able to access it unless you enable "multi LUN support" in the kernel
(which apparently you have).

If you have cdrecord, try
[eben@pc eben]$ cdrecord -scanbus
...
scsibus0:
...
0,4,0 4) 'Seagate ' 'STT20000N ' '6A51' Removable Tape
(tape drive, SCSI)
...
scsibus1:
1,0,0 100) 'Generic ' 'STORAGE DEVICE ' '0125' Removable Disk
(CF card, USB)
...
scsibus2:
2,0,0 200) '_NEC ' 'DVD_RW ND-2510A ' '2.17' Removable CD-ROM
({DVD±,CD-}{R,RW} drive, IDE through IDE-SCSI emulation)
I don't know how to translate what cdrecord returns into something useful,
but at least it'll confirm that the device is visible.

You can cat them, but I couldn't parse what was in mine.
