I wasn't trying to get peoples backs up,

Just trying to explain that kernel 2.6.20 doesn't work at default with
some TIFM hardware.

This is a kernel/TIFM issue not feisty, Any packaged distro running this
kernel without patches will have this problem.

The sdhci module does work but to use this you have to switch the
hardware over to SD mode.

The feisty bug in the pci MMC readers (of which TIFM is one) were not
seen as host devices and hence hal would not mount  has been fixed.

Pau Marc Muñoz Torres my SD card works fine in Linux, I am capable of
fixing most/any issues with any Debian based distro and don't need to
try and help anybody else.

As far as windows XP goes maybe you should delete your Linux partition
and run the OS of you choice that your obviously so happy with, it is of
no concern to me.

Carlos if you dont want to re-compile the tifm modules heres how to
switch over to SD mode

from a command run

lspci

you will get a list of pci devices, look for the  Mass storage
controller texas instruments and note the number to the left

02:06.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCIxx21/x515 Cardbus Controller
02:06.1 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCIxx21/x515 Cardbus Controller
02:06.2 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host 
Controller
02:06.3 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments PCIxx21 Integrated 
FlashMedia Controller


Issue the following command substituting your pci id where mine is

setpci -s 02:06.3 4c.b=0x02

now try inserting you sd card...
this needs to be done every reboot as its none persistant ... Note the is some 
confusing information out there about this in a nut shell

There are 2 drivers capable of driving this module 
SDHCI
and
TIFM_sd.TIFM_7xx1,TIFM_core

the tifm module are bust in the 2.6.20 kernel series

to use sdhci you have to switch the hardware mode over using setpci

NOTE as far as I can tell both drivers only support SD cards 100% sure
this is true for the tifm driver but cant find anything definitive about
the sdhci driver ..can't test myself as only have sd cards.
