It just does that with Linux version 3.13.0-rc6-tp520 (martin@merkaba) (gcc version 4.8.2 (Debian 4.8.2-10) ) #41 SMP PREEMPT Mon Dec 30 13:39:07 CET 2013 as well. But, only when trying to write a file via desktop environment via dolphin from KDE in that case. When I am on tty1 it seems to be stable to write to the SD card. But with dolphin on writing a large few files vom /usr/bin mouse pointer froze again. But according to harddisk led from ThinkPad T520 there has been some write activity afterwards. The LED also lits up for MMC card accesses. Still after reboot there is none of the copied files visible on the FAT32 formatted SD card. Thus adding Intel gfx and dri devel lists to CC. This crashing only under GUI might still be a coindidence. I only tried once. But since the crash usually came almost immediately and it didn´t crash with reading or writing files on TTY1 and it somehow continued I/O according to harddisk led instead of seeming to be completely stopped… well I can try again to make sure. Would be good to make it crash on TTY1 since then I might see some kernel output. Back to 3.12.6 for now. I just tried the same with that kernel and there the copying just works nice. I can also report a bug at bugzilla.kernel.org if needed. May comments about bisecting still applies. I do not feel comfortable with doing it on this production machine with production data on it… especially given the major block layer changes. There may be points in history were the kernel produces data corruption or so.
