I think only the sdhci, sdhci_pci and mmc* modules are required to make this card visible to the installer and available for partitioning. (The output of 'lsmod' would be the place to look for confirmation). The installer's initrd contains these modules so the card would be seen. You were doubly fortunate at the store. Having the right kind of card reader made it possible to install Debian on the card. Having the kernels on card and hard disk identical made it possible for the OS on the card to boot. -- Brian.
