That was caused by a kernel patch that disabled polling of the MMC until the MMC cover is closed. (That makes sense to save power, but prevents usage of full-size MMC.) I'm not sure if the same patch is coming to the sales release. > But just tried on IT2006 and current 2.6.16 kernel seems to allow this. > Great, looks like I can use normal sized MMC cards in emergency.
