** Description changed:

- Pandaboard ES freezes after SD card write accesses. You can easily reproduce 
the issue with a simple "copy A B" script loop on the SD card, where file A is 
about 1 GB. The Pandaboard ES will freeze after a few minutes ... up to a few 
hours. 
+ Pandaboard ES freezes after SD card write accesses. You can easily reproduce 
the issue with a simple "copy A B" script loop on the SD card, where file A is 
about 1 GB. The Pandaboard ES will freeze after a few minutes ... up to one 
hour. Without this specific write job, the freeze will occur after several 
hours, just due to regular write accesses of the running system.
  It is a complete freeze, no syslog entry, no serial access, no network, no 
keyboard/mouse anymore. When pressing the reset button, it will not even 
reboot. The SD card interface seems to be hanging. Power-cycle works.
  
  I tested 5 different cards with all the same result. Notably, the same
  cards work well in three other SD card readers, and also in Pandaboard
  ES when running the Oneiric-preinstalled image (plus ubuntu-
  omap4-extras) instead of Precise-daily.
  
  I found the big difference from Oneiric to Precise is the SD-card interface 
speed (checked with hdparm):
  Oneiric: 8.7 MB/s
- Precise: ~16 MB/s 
+ Precise: ~16 MB/s
  
  So, maybe the faster mode in Precise uncovers a HW issue on the
  Pandaboard ES SD/MMC interface?
