If resetting my card won't work (usually due to a dying card so I've noticed, alas) I first try(as su/root) "cardctl eject".....which usualyy gives something like; eject failed, device or resource busy, etc.....! Then "cardctl suspend", "cardctl status"(to check) and "cardctl resume" to start again, or "cardctl-eject" to remove the card safely. Typing cardctl w/o options will show all available options and IIRC there is a gui application for this, out there somewhere. Just pulling the card out will almost certainly damage the card, if it hasn't already! At the very, very least suspend it, first.
