Bug#694348: Workaround
I just had the same problem installing wheezy beta4 to and SD card in an
ASUS EeeBox B202 with a "Realtek Semiconductor Corp. USB 2.0 multicard
reader"
I eventually worked around it by downloading the wheezy
linux-image-3.2.0-4-486 package to another machine, extracting it and
running:
> nc -l -p 1234 <
lib/modules/3.2.0-4-486/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/ums-realtek.ko
Then on the EeeBox running debian-installer I ran:
> nc 172.28.0.163 1234 >
/lib/modules/3.2.0-4-486/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/ums-realtek.ko
> insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-486/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/ums-realtek.ko
The debian-installer then detected all three storage devices: internal
hard disk, USB flash boot device, and SD card
