The same for me. Reading of SD cards worked perfectly with Edgy using modules
tifm_core
tifm_sd
now I cannot read the SD cards anymore. Same /var/log/messages.

I can confirm that reading of SD cards worked perfectly in Edgy.

Here they give a SOLUTION for Feisty:

I have tested it, it works. So it would be NICE if the problem was fixed, otherwise with the next kernel upgrade the fix has to be installed again, etc.

This report is a duplicate of bug #53923

Please do not post comments to this bug, use the current bug. That's where the people trying to fix this will be looking.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!

Per a decision made by the Ubuntu Kernel Team, bugs will longer be assigned to the ubuntu-kernel-team in Launchpad as part of the bug triage process. The ubuntu-kernel-team is being unassigned from this bug report. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies for more information. Thanks.
