Well this could be a solution, openmoko may compile that (mmcblk) as a module (need to verify that) and we or I can provide an opk that overwrite the default module with the patched one. I don't pretend to post something like that upstream of course, there's a standard and i'd like to respect it upstream, but internally (only for gta02 or openmoko) there can be a patched module version. Another solution shuld be to change the uSD card reader identification (inserting the USB card reader in the pc the peripherals are sd* device) so it's not related to the uSD but the identification and association is related to the uSD reader, so it should be possible to identify our uSD card reader as sd* device and not mmcblk device. Doing something similar could be posted upstram, if it's obviously possible to change the device identification. I'm a lazy boy so i really want to have all the distro on tha uSD, also some testing version and so on ;D I'll try to make some changes to that driver.. Thanks a lot!
