[Karmic] Cannot mount SD cards on EEEPC 901

[gianfilippo]

When trying to insert an SD card in a EEEPC 901, the SD card is not mounted and dmesg is flooded with the following messages:
[ 859.440183] hub 1-0:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 5 disabled

This happens with Ubuntu Karmic - Netbook Remix. The same SD card is successfully read by another ubuntu hardy machine.

Sounds like a kernel bug.

[David Tombs (dgtombs)]

Andy: the bug description states that it's kernel 2.6.31-16-generic, running on karmic.

Hi gianfilippo,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 501861

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
