Unfortunately my machine crashes every hour or so when I run 2.6.25,
both with the home build kernel and with the Debian kernel, this makes
it impossible for me to do any real testing. The SD card works on the
home build kernel, but not on the Debian kernel, I will wait for
2.6.25 to become stable for me and then find the difference between
the two build that prevents the SD card from working on one of them.

I have also tried to compile 2.6.24 for myself now in order to see if
the SD would work there, it didn't, but I got a reaction in the dmesg
now:
  mmc0: card claims to support voltages below the defined range. These
will be ignored.
  mmc0: SDIO card claims to support the incompletely defined 'low
voltage range'. This will be ignored.
  mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SDIO card

This might explain what the problem is?

Anyway, thanks for your time, I will just wait a little longer as it
almost works now,
