I wiggled the card some and blew air in a few places, and some time during that fedora spit out: mmc0: host does not support reading read-only switch. assuming write-enable. Which I see in kashyap's output as well. However that's all I got and I can't reproduce yet, and not sure specifically what I did during that time. Would there be mmc0 messages in the kernel output even if no sdcard is inserted? Or is it dependent on a card being present? >> If not, is it possible to make the cubietruck boot directly off the sata >> drive?

Or can I make uboot on the sdcard use /boot from my sata drive?
