http://bugs.elinux.org/issues/67 It's an odd situation, seems to only occur on some boards when the microSD's is being used. As the phy is coming up on the wrong address, however the driver is hardcoded to one address so it never connects up properly. You can confirm this situation by using the 'flasher', and only boot with the eMMC, I don't have a working software fix yet. > 2.
