This is not true: the SD card reader worked fine for most people through the different kernel versions we have seen. There *have* been reports about difficulties with the internal reader on different distributions (including the default Xandros os) and some people made the experience that their reader worked with one kernel or distribution and not with others. Another thing is, when you try to mount the reader through /etc/fstab when booting, then the reader is often not ready yet. Mounting the card later on (or booting from the card) works fine for most people. > I forget the exact error message, > but I tracked it down at the time (mid December) and there were clear > reports blaming the the testing distribution's new kernel version for > the problem. I have seen one such (pretty agressive) 'report' by one person, but this was not the experience that most of us had, AFAIK. The sd card reader workes fine for most people on Debian Lenny. All in all the internal reader of the eee does not seem to be of very good quality and some people have reported problems related to overheating.
