I’m not sure if I can buy one from Amazon directly because I’m neither
an US nor UK resident.
Still thanks for your recommendation, it’s very valuable for me.

      Replace Amazon with "trusted store" in your country who does not sell
counterfeit products. (So, do not buy SD card from eBay, DealExtreme, etc.)

    I’ve just purchased a SanDisk 16GB Micro SD card but it’s not class
    6 as stated before but class 4, actually. I expect it to arrive on
    Monday January 9th, it means tomorrow.

        I’d though appreciate if you send me the precompiled kernel module
(along with some instructions or web resources how to install it).

      It is attached inside a ZIP file. This module is only for use with stock
kernel, not power kernel!

…

If your card was affected by this bug, hopefully using this module will
now allow your card to work with no more corruption (after reformat).

    Dear Paul, I tried your module. Everything went OK! … until I tried
    to rsync everything from the card to an image file stored
    in ~/MyDocs. I tried it twice and in both cases an unwanted reboot
    and filesystem corruption occured, inspite that I ran rsync
    with the nice -n 19 prefix.

    I called rsync from a bash script with "sudo nice -n
      19 <that_script>" actually. I suppose that every child
    process inherits the niceness of <that_script>.

    But I also tried to perform a sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get
      dist-upgrade before. That worked pretty good except that some
    corruption was already present on the filesystem (after an fsck
    repair) that didn’t allow the upgrade to finish. Next time I’ll try
    on a fresh Debian partition.

    So it appears that:

    – the dist-upgrade seems to work  :-)  thank to the
    fixed kernel module from you, Paul;

    – as the image file became involved (during an rsync
    backup process), the reboot and corruption occured twice already  :-( ; the image file
    and the partition on the microSD card both became corrupt;

    – maybe I should 

      forget about the image file for now, 

      concentrate myself on work with the microSD card partition,
      use the image file as a read-only rescue backup solution and 

      back the system on the card up to another place than to the
        mounted image file on my device, i. e. to my PC, or use dd
        instead of rsync.

    Anyway, other ideas to figure out what’s going on here? Why is my
    N900 rebooting unexpectedly even when I am very nice to
    it?

    Thank you, Paul and Michael, for your suggestions! I hope we’ll
    finally find the way out of this weird story  ;-)
