I have the same issue on my X40. After I used the SD slot I need to reboot to make it work again. I have the feeling this is a BIOS issue as other X40 users (like uwe@) do not seem to have this issue. Upgrading my X40 BIOS seems to be impossible without some Virus Runtime Environment from Redmond. If I reboot with the SD card inserted the slot seems to work again after spitting out a "sdmmc0: can't enable card" error message. Btw. my cardbus slot misbehaves as well (not recognizing cards on insert from time to time). > Also, if I insert a 4GB card before inserting a 512MB or 2GB card, I > see > > sdmmc0: can't enable card > > (After inserting and removing the 512MB/2GB cards, the 4GB card is > ignored the same as the others.) > > Any idea what's wrong? > -- :wq Claudio
