I am tracking down variables right now, and will update as I make further discoveries, but here's the story so far:

After two non-consecutive suspend/resume cycles on a new Acer Aspire One AO756, the built-in SD card reader refuses to recognize any card, giving the following errors in dmesg:

[25887.536273] mmc0: Timeout waiting for hardware interrupt.
[25897.551037] mmc0: Timeout waiting for hardware interrupt.
[25907.565804] mmc0: Timeout waiting for hardware interrupt.

[25961.920074] mmc0: Card removed during transfer!
[25961.920085] mmc0: Resetting controller.

(This represents testing and remove two different cards.)

After a suspend/resume cycle between the two aforementioned tests, I was able to get one card, a Transcend MicroSDHC 32 GB Class 4 card to not only be recognized, but automatically mount as expected, and finally was able to transfer the entire contents of the card (just over 30 GB) to the local HD. Other cards I had available produced errors. The dmesg from the working, followed by a nonworking card:

[17033.338324] mmc0: new high speed SDHC card at address e624

[19609.164688] mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card
[19634.785422] mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card

I'm now going through and trying different things to see if I can isolate what's causing the different results. In the later test, where nothing was recognized, that test included the MicroSDHC card that worked previously. I'll update the notes if I can find what is causing the different behaviors.
