[Debian-eeepc-devel] Fwd: boot halts when SD card is inside slot

[Pedro Bulach Gapski]

It seems the SD problem has been outlined in another message a few
days ago, and also its solution. I copy the email below, since it is
not yet into the archives, as we speak.

If it enters 2.6.27 it will not be in lenny :-( Any chance this patch
can be applied to a debian kernel and put into the eee repository?

regards to all,

Pedro

Don't found any mentions of this problem in wiki, so writing here.

After installing debian lenny on my eee, card reader was not working.

There was changes in 2.6.25 which was aimed to avoid some other
cardreader bugs, but also broken eee reader.

I applied fix from http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg28197.html
to 2.6.25 kernel and all started working smoothly.

As i can see, this patch is also needed for 2.6.26 from unstable.


And this patch was finally accepted into the kernel 2 weeks ago:
