When I connect the N900 to my desktop PC (Gentoo GNU/Linux), Gnome automounts it and I can access my home directory. (Looks ugly, but works.)

I can not, however, access (or even see) the microSD card. Both SD card and home directory disappear from the file manager the mopment I connect the USB cable, so I guess that on the N900 side things are OK... kind of.

dmesg gives me

usb 2-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3
usb 2-6: configuration #1 chosen from 2 choices
scsi9 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 3
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
scsi 9:0:0:0: Direct-Access Nokia N900 031 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2
sd 9:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg7 type 0
usb-storage: device scan complete
sd 9:0:0:0: [sdg] Attached SCSI removable disk
sd 9:0:0:0: [sdg] 56631296 512-byte logical blocks: (28.9 GB/27.0 GiB)
sd 9:0:0:0: [sdg] Assuming drive cache: write through
sd 9:0:0:0: [sdg] Assuming drive cache: write through

and mount tells me it's a VFAT volume:

/dev/sdg on /media/Nokia N900 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uhelper=hal,shortname=low er,flush,uid=1000)

Especially the output of dmesg doesn't look like there's anything besides /dev/sdg that could be mounted.

How does it look on other GNU/Linux computers? Is there something wrong with Maemo, with my N900 or with my desktop computer?
How does it work in Windows?
