I've found a lot of references to this problem, mostly for commercial phones, but not the real root cause. I'm trying to do a demo of Android on a beagleboard setup, and this is driving me crazy. We have two development machines with presumably the same identical code but one has this error, the other doesn't. I can't find the difference. This is rowboat Android 1.6. The system boots fine from the SD card in both cases and basically works, except for access to the card. There are 3 partitions on the card, vfat for boot, ext3 for root fs, and vfat for misc data. The one that does not have the error can access the 3rd partition for pictures via e.g. the standard Gallery app after boot. The system with the error cannot. I've switched on some vold debugging.
Any idea what is going on? Here are some logs for comparison: The initial logcat of the good system follows. Note this is not a crash, even though it appears to think it is.
