Thanks for considering testing. However, it is likely not to work for you because your 5-in-1 appparently is a Ricoh reader on the PCI bus. You can check this with 'lspci'. Failure is also indicated by the presence of 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p1' in your grub.cfg. AFAICT, GRUB does not have modules for SD/MMC devices, so nativedisk would have nothing to load to drive the device. -- Brian.
