It is good you managed to diagnose the problem, but this si not the
right solution.

Either:

1) don't power down SD card during system suspend

or maybe even better

2) don't power _up_ SD card during system resume. Let it be powered
down until the first access.

Thanks,
                                                                        Pavel
