SD cards are not attached unless they are already
inserted before booting the liquorix kernel.
No such issue using the Debian kernel 3.5-trunk-amd64.

Booting with already inserted SD card,
removing and reinserting the card shows the following kernel errors:
-----

Jos, I'm not getting the same behavior on my system. Are these the messages you get right after inserting the SD card into your system?

Also, please provide the output of inxi -bxx.

Yes, I removed and reinserted the card a few times.
When the card wasn't inserted at boot time, nothing happens, no card attached.
Debian's kernel doesn't have that issue.

This isn't a specific 3.6 issue since I always had to insert an sd card prior to booting all previous liquorix kernels too.
Could it be a configuration error?

The SD card mmcblk0 is mounted and active,
inxi -pluo:

I reverted to kernel 3.5.0-4.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64.
Here no such error "SD Status: Invalid Allocation Unit size"
though the SD card needs to be inserted before booting

:: Code ::
mmc0: card f80b removed
mmc0: new SD card at address f80b
mmcblk0: mmc0:f80b S032B 29.6 MiB (ro)
mmcblk0: p1


P.S. Is there still a copy of kernel 3.5.0-7 on your server?

No, there's not. I replaced 3.5 with 3.6 and left 3.4 (a long term kernel) in the past branch.

One last thing, you can try is using a different SD card and try formatting it from scratch. It could be that your specific SD card / SD card adapter is just generally bad or incompatible with partition table setup.

Your last option is to submit a bug report to bugzilla.kernel.org/ if you can create an easy procedure to reproduce this bug.
