Ok, I tried the quirks mode kernel option and it solves the problem of making the microSDHC card slot writable, yay! Interesting, it didn't break the dock's SDHC card slot and make it read-only, so I would guess that's connected using a USB bridge; that comes out as mmcblk2 And neither did it break the eMMC in the tablet, that's writable too, so again a great result. Is the "sdhci.debug_quirks" command line flag available without full debugging on? Now the only obstacle remaining is that grub can't see the internal memory card slot, so I guess I will need to have a small boot partition in the eMMC. At the moment I've made the tablet triple boot. With rEFInd on the eMMC's EFI partition and the SDHC card EFI partition, the UEFI firmware offers me both devices as a boot option. Windows is in the eMMC, along with a small linux install, then a full install in a partition in the SDHC card. Each EFI partitions' grub-efi finds its relevant linux installation (it seems grub-efi patches the bootable program since the grub menu and modules lives in the ext4 linux partition). sorry for the brain dump but I thought it would be useful for anyone else treading this -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-mmc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
