mmc0: Unknown controller version (2). You may experience problems

[metap0d]

Hi everyone,

I installed Ubuntu 10.04.1 hoping that the issue I experienced in 10.04 would be resolved but unfortunately it hasn't.

When I boot my notebook I choose Ubuntu then the screen goes black with a blinking cursor in the top left for about 10-15 seconds. After that a message flashes which says something along the lines of

mmc0: Unknown controller version (2). You may experience  problems

And then boots into Ubuntu and as far as I can tell everything works perfectly from there. Ordinarily I wouldn't complain but because it delays the boot time so significantly I'd really like to do anything in my power to fix it.

I found several other threads from people who experience the exact same issue as me but noone seems to have a fix. A few people claimed after reinstalling the issue went away but that didn't work for me. Apparently this is an issue with my media card reader ..


Here are the related threads I could find:

Notebook: Gateway P-7803 (nearly identical to the P-7805 found here: http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=5035&review=gateway+p7805u+fx)

Operating System: Ubuntu 10.04.1 64 bit (latest updates)

I am a complete Linux beginner so please be patient with me.

I noticed the same problem on my laptop.

Seems like the problem is documented at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...x/+bug/568766/. Doesn't seem to be a major problem, as you observed. I just subscribed to the bug and will wait for them to fix it.

Hope this helps!
