Does 'test /pci/sd' several times work for you as well? I do

succeeds about 10 times in a row, then type boot, and then it works
fine. Question is, I'm not sure how/where to report these results, it
seems as though this is a definite firmware issue (possibly with a
subset of cards) and not any of the cards in question (since the same
results now are happening for four people - me, you, John Rose ,and
Brian Powell. Interestingly, John and Brian work fine with 4GB cards,
just when they went to 8GB cards they ran into this. You and I see it
with 4GB cards too).
And another update. I reported this to the OLPC folks as
http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8987. After a marathon 5 hour debug
session with Mitch Bradley, learning more about the Forth debugger
than I ever wanted to know, we have a fix that will show up in
firmware Q2E23.
