Comment 33 for bug 1069289

I have USB card reader 6-in-1 based on Alcor Micro AU9360A22 chipset , and facing the same problem. Should I create a new bug report or use this one (since it is stil open)?

$ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 119: ID 058f:9360 Alcor Micro Corp. 8-in-1 Media Card Reader

Ubuntu 14.04
Linux 3.13.0-43-generic #72-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 8 19:35:06 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Problem:
  1GB SD card works
  4GB SD card does NOT work
32GB SD card does NOT work

So simptomps are the same, when I inser the 4GB or 32GB cards, the card reader stops working. I have to re-plug the card reader to resolve the problem.

Here are some messages from /var/log/syslog:

Note that when I insert the 4GB or 32GB cards I see the CPU spike in I/O Wait (for about 30 sec) from "System Load Indicator" and then the following error logs
