SD card only available if inserted before booting

Hi everyone!
Testing out my new build of LMDE XFCE, and I find one odd quirk - if I boot the system with an SD card in the slot, it shows up just fine. If I wait to insert the card after boot up, or try to hot-swap SD cards, it doesn't pick up on the inserted card.
I remember dealing with something like this in Feisty Fawn Ubuntu, but try as I might, I can't find the help forum to even begin trying the same thing that fixed it.
My apologies if this is a redundant question, but after scanning Google for a bit and still no joy, I thought I'd ask.
Cheers!

P.S. This seems to happen in several machines, including an HP Pavilion, an Acer Aspire, and an Acer AspireONE
EDIT: Oddly enough, if it's in the machine at boot time, and you remove it after you're up and running, you can put one in again, and it'll pick up on it. it just doesn't work if there's nothing in at bootup time. Weird, huh?
