Comment 99 for bug 925760

I tried to boot my laptop into a 3.X kernel with a card in the reader. It got as far as recreating volatile files and directories, sat there for about ten minutes or so and rebooted. I then tried booting it (with the card still in place) into my trusty old 2.X kernel and It Just Worked. I can't speak for anybody else, but having a card in the reader not only doesn't work around the problem, it causes more problems earlier in the boot process. And, I'll admit, the idea of having to keep a memory card in the slot just to get your computer to boot would Just Be Wrong.
