Nokia N900 with SanDisk 32GB class 10 micro SD card. I have been using this micro SD card with kernel-power v50 for several months. Suddenly the N900 reset one day, during or after a phone call I think. I thought that was strange, but then noticed that, starting then, *every* time I tried running unison (triggers lots of IO on SD card), the N900 would reset. There was also some strange filesystem behavior with the Debian chroot on the SD card. dmesg contains messages like these (some line breaks added): mmcblk1: error -110 sending read/write command, \ response 0x0, card status 0x400b00 mmcblk1: error -110 transferring data, sector 15210519, \ nr 1, card status 0x400b00 end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk1, sector 15210519 (For some reason, it was sometimes 'mmcblk0' instead of 'mmcblk1', but either way the messages happened only when there is external SD card IO.) e2fsck (using N900 as reader) returns errors like this (line breaks added again): Error reading block 1376258 (Attempt to read block from filesystem \ resulted in short read) while getting next inode from scan. Ignore \ error<y>? But everything works great with a SD card reader on a regular Linux system. So I tried upgrading to kernel-power v52, tried the stock kernel, and tried reflashing to stock everything. Same errors. It seems like from <http://maemo.org/community/maemo-users/n900_microsd_card_i-o_errors_and_corruption/> and <http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/maemo/users/65584#65591> that this error happens with the higher speed class SD cards, but has been worked around starting with v49 of kernel-power. Does anyone have any idea why I suddenly began to experience these IO errors? Thanks.
