I forgot to mention that I am using a 2.6.10 kernel but will try 2.6.11rc1 soon. Are you using a SMP system? I assume the cabling, card reader and SD card are OK because the problem went away with maxcpus=1, the problem must be in the USB ehci/ohci/storage drivers. Do you know if there is any difference between addressing external hard disks and SD cards?
