[U-Boot-Users] MMC Card Problems with U-Boot 1.1.6

What kind of MMC cards are you using?  We're in the same boat and haven't
been able to initialize Patriot 512MB cards.  I've rewritten/added to the
code for SD 2.0 (added 'sdinit' and an sd interface) and am seeing portions
of the data dropped when I read blocks from a 512MB SanDisk SD 2.0 card. 
We're clocking at 10 MHz, running a 312 MHz PXA-270 (with turbo mode), and
both cards work fine under our 2.6.18 kernel.

You can define DEBUG and MMC_DEBUG and rebuild u-boot to look at the command
outputs.  Our MMC_STAT register reads 0x2140 on successful commands and
0x2142 on timeouts.

Has anyone been able to copy file systems correctly with MMC or SD on the
PXA-270?  I'm not convinced this ever worked.
