Hi!

If I boot Asus Eee PC with 8 Gb Transcend SDHC card inserted into the
internal card reader, 2.6.25-rc7 prints the following:

[ 9.914968] scsi 2:0:0:0: Direct-Access USB2.0 CardReader SD0 0100 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0

[ 10.380590] end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 15660024

As a result, no sdb device is created by udev.

If the card is inserted after the boot, it sometimes works fine (I've
tested with "dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null bs=512 skip=15660000"), and
sometimes fails in the same way (the same I/O error message, dd
hangs).

2.6.24.4 is fine (no problems at boot, always can dd read the whole
card, all 15660032 sectors of it).

The other SD card I've got, 2 Gb, also works ok even with 2.6.25-rc7.
