Here are the results:

	After reboot

[root@gstpc gerry]# /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 4 heads, 16 sectors, 256 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *         1       250      7987+   1  FAT12
[root@gstpc gerry]# mount /mnt/smedia
mount: block device /dev/sda1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[root@gstpc gerry]# umount /mnt/smedia

	remove and reinsert the card

[root@gstpc gerry]# mount /mnt/smedia
mount: block device /dev/sda1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
       or too many mounted file systems
[root@gstpc gerry]# /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sda
