[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

The system was upgrade from 16.04, did you see the same issue on Linux kernel v4.4?

[K4LiN (kalinq)]

I've got the same issue on Dell e5470 with Manjaro. Tried kernel v4.19, v4.20, v4.4
The issue is visible on each kernel. The card is brand new and works perfectly fine on camera and on Windows booted on the same machine.

The same problem with SanDisk Extreme 64GB.

Same issue here, also with a SanDisk Extreme microSD card (128GB).

I'm having the same problem with a Sandisk 64G.

Same bug here on Toshiba Tecra X40-D, with:

The Sandisk A2 128GB Extreme card works on the same hardware when booted into Windows 10. Other Cards are working also.

[Nicola (nicola-battista89)]

Same bug with Notebook Acer Aspire E5-575G-55GR with Sandisk 64GB extreme.

[Diachuck Dmytro (siteo-expert)]

I have same problem.
Laptop HP Omen Pro 15, SanDisk 64Gb
I tested it on Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 18.10, Ubuntu 19.04. It did not work. In all environments, I always get in logs(system) message: "mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card"

This card "SanDisk 64Gb" works on Ubuntu 14* and works on any my cameras.

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

If it worked on older kernels, please do a kernel bisection to find the regression commit.

[Arnold Greving (arnold-arnox)]

This problem also affects me on a Dell Precision 5510 in combination with a SanDisk Extreme Pro 128 GB.

I'm running kernel 5.0.0-25-generic on Ubuntu 19.04

[Artem Chekunov (scorp-dev-null)]

The same problem(mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card):
HW: Dell Precision 3520
OS: Ubuntu 19.04
KERNEL: 5.0.0-25-generic
SSD: SanDisk Extreme Pro 256 GB

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Please test latest mainline kernel:
https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.3-rc6/

I'll raise the issue to Dell/Realtek if it's not fixed on mainline kernel.

[Stéphane (steph-pak)]

Hi, I had the same issue with an RTS525A.

"mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card"

PC: Dell XPS 9570

OS: Ubuntu 19.04, Linux 5.0.0-15-generic

SD CARD: SanDisk 128Go SDXC V30, U3, 95 mb/s

Some really good dev found at fist a nice workaround that work fine for me:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11088719/

And here there a final patch to try:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11116271/

Here, the topic on bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202473

Big thanks

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Since it has "Cc: <email address hidden>", it'll also land to Ubuntu's kernel.

[laurius (laurynas-tamosiunas)]

Almost a year and still nothing changed. 18.04.3 with 4.20.0-042000-generic still have the same issue.

[maxwellcom (ndmaxwell)]

Still broken @ 19.10, 5.3.0-24-generic.

[Zadir de Sena Correa Junior (nortonap)]

I would like to know how to install those patch (https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11088719/ and https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11116271/), listed above, on Ubuntu, deepin or gpart distro. I am trying to install linux on a mini pc that came with windows 10, but while trying.to do that I receive erros containing "HS 400 -84 whitest mmc", or something like that.
Could somebody help me on that? My WhatsApp is [phone]. I am Brazilian, by the way...

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Please just test latest mainline kernel:
https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.8-rc5/

[Mathias (mathias-f)]

Unfortunately, and I have found another bug about similar issues with patches, on Ubuntu Jammy 22.04 server (preinstalled), I am getting the same issue on my raspi (arm64).
