Problem with SDHC card on Acer Aspire One with ArchLinux
Ok, here's my very weird problem :
I'm running ArchLinux with kernel 2.6.28 with all the latests updates and I've followed everything I could find on the Arch wiki ( http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acer_Aspire_One ). Unfortunatly, my left SDHC card reader does not work with my A-Data 8GB card. The thing is, if I boot Live using Fedora, Linpus or even using Arch on a usb drive, then it works :S When I plug it in and run "dmesg | tail", I get mmc0: error -84 whilst initialising SD card and no entry in /dev/ is created (normally it creates /dev/mmcblk0). If I use any other SD card, then it work. Also, if I use my card in somebody else's laptop, it works. Using the right SD card reader results in the exact same behaviour. Since the Aspire One's SSD is only 8GB, I kinda need that SD card to work ... btw, forgot to mention, I've tried reformating in many different ways (e.g. : ext2, fat16, fat32, xfs) and still no results. Anybody got an idea ? Ced |
Do you have the right BIOS version on the AAO ? the info below is from the Ubuntu AAO wiki

solution "found"
I had the right bios, and I was kinda tired of searching for a solution. Eventually I did a pacman -Syu and it updated all sorts of packages (including xfce 4.4 -> 4.6 , which is very nice) and something in there solved my problem (possibly the new kernel)
