(Get the code!)
On my EeePC 900 (where the SD device actually appears on the USB bus) SD cards seem to be especially unreliable (a good way to provoke problems is to have an install on an SD card and to see how long it lasts before mysterious "holes" appear in the filesystem). I have had no end of problems with one of my cards in both the original Xandros distro as well as Ubuntu and Fedora. The problem definitely seems to be worse under load and certain filesystems (such as ext3) seem to be especially susceptible. Real USB flash devices used on the same EeePC do not exhibit this behaviour so I suspect the problem is somewhat mechanical....
