[Debian-eeepc-devel] SD-Card problems on eee900, kernelpackage 2.6.26-4

[obregonmateo at gmail.com]

I looked at the patch, but the line numbers don't match with the 2.6.26 source 
code sd.c, so I manually modified the sd.c by looking for the appropriate 
lines and changing them according to the patch. After a loooong time 
recompiling the linux-source, I made a new initramfs and installed the 
modules and linux, and now my system does not hang at boot with  the 16GB 
SDHC card inserted and properly recognises and mount the ext3 system on the 
card.

Any way that this patch could be applied to the debian eeepc apt sources so 
that we can get a properly modified 2.6.26 linux image (together with the 
thermal nocrt=1 hack)?

Mateo.
