Hi, All. I encountered this problem on my asus eee pc with 8G SDHC card.
My quick and dirty workaround is make root filesystem not removable.

1. Login with Ctrl-Alt-F2 or Xterm session.
2. run 'hal-device' to find device which contains root file system. (device means not media but controller device)
3. mark that device to unremovable using 'hal-set-priority --udi "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_USB2_0_CardReader..." --key storage.removable --bool false'

I temporary added this line to /etc/rc.local. I could get login to my laptop.
