With talk about updating the Pandora Distribution, just wanted to make the software developers aware of a discussion on the beagle board list with some SDHC cards not working.

Some changes to the MMC driver seems to clear up the problem, so that the MMC driver works with the problem SDHC cards.

Also for those who are interested, here is a link to some testing on a selection of cards, which shows that max transfer speed of a card for camera use, does not mean it is the best when used in normal OS computer applications. The first boot up timing of a new OS when it does its internal configurations with lots of reads and writes, shows this up best in the test result list.
