    Hey all,

    I bought an 8GB SDHC for my AA1 storage expansion slot, it was recognised and i was able to format it and put it to use. However, every few suspend/resume cycles the disk refuses to mount and the following messages are shown -

    Code:
    [  146.892934] EXT3-fs error (device mmcblk0): ext3_check_descriptors: Block bitmap for group 1 not in group (block 0)!
[  146.897994] EXT3-fs: group descriptors corrupted!
    fdisk -l
    Code:
    Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 8168 MB, 8168931328 bytes
4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 249296 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Disk /dev/mmcblk0 doesn't contain a valid partition table
    Recreate the partition in fdisk and the data is still there.

    Has anyone experienced this?

    Allan

    I had this problem when using putting the laptop in standby and waking it up again.

    I think you should unmount it before putting into standby.

    I generally do a sudo umount and then a sync. It takes up to 5 seconds to do the syncing, but I generally don't have any problems re-mounting cleanly.

    I don't have a problem with locking as I only have data on the SDHC, so unmounting is fairly unproblematic. One would possibly have to have a script killing all processes utilizing the SDHC before suspend to have a guaranteed unmount.

    Apparently Acer has a patched sdhc driver for Linpus, it might be that this driver has a USB_PERSIST-like feature for SDHC that prevents the reader from resetting, requiring the unmount-remount.

    Petaramesh's kernel kicks serious butt! Tell everyone with an Aspire One to _get_ this now!

    It fixes the suspend / SD corruption issues, suspend / sound issues, and fixes the need for a custom WiFi install!

    Rush to:

    http://petaramesh.org/post/2008/09/01/N ... Aspire-One

    use the latest one, Noyau Ubuntu Aspire One 2.6.27-a1sp011 and its matching header.

    Everything works!
