mmc/sd card issues (error -110)

[gregd72002]

Hi guys,

I got my RPi yesterday and got onto archlinux straight away. Great stuff!!

Though, when working on it I get plenty of error messages (dmesg):

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'kernel: mmc0: final write to SD card still running
kernel: mmc0: Timeout waiting for hardware interrupt.
kernel: mmcblk0: error -110 sending stop command, original cmd response 0x900, card status 0x900')

From my understanding this is to do with MMC handling in the kernel. And the solution seems to be already devised:
http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linar ... 02124.html

Anyone else having same issues? Is there a ready baked kernel for RPi with this patch incorporated?

Thanks in advance,
Gregory

Which image? this is all fixed
http://downloads.raspberrypi.org/images ... 4-2012.zip
Unless your card is faulty?

[gregd72002]

pepedog, this is exactly the image I'm using (archlinuxarm-29-04-2012.zip).
I downloaded it yesterday installed and executed 'pacman -Syu'

The errors are all there...

This is the SD card I have (8GB version):

(authentic and genuine based on: http://legacy.kingston.com/asia/verifyflash/)

On the raspberry pi forums they say there is an issue with over class 4 cards.
I have run a 64 Gb class 10 ultra with no problems. Running from class 4 I have had no problems, nothing else you can try?

Edit, see where you posted on their forum, will ask Kevin to do new kernel

[gregd72002]

Right, I have just tried it and downloaded kernel.img from the https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware ... aster/boot
rebooted my RPi and the problem still persists:

Any suggestions?

[pepedog]

Do you access to a linux system?
Really you need all the files in /boot and /lib/modules
If you got linux, install git
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'git clone git://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware.git')
Now you can copy the files

[gregd72002]

tried this as well and no luck - the error persists

I realised that I do have another SD card at home - 8GB Sandisk Ultra (class 6). Tried it and everything works perfectly fine, with writes of around 4+MB/s...

Though, when plugged to a PC the Kingston card is faster than the Sandisk. Therefore, I'd be happy to test something more on my Kingston card if there are any suggestions?

[kane77]

I seem to have the same issue.. I have 2 Kingston cards, both are class 10 8GB and 16GB and I tried both and with both I get this in dmesg :/
this wouldn't be a problem, but for me I get 10-20 second hangup every once in a while which is very annoying..

[xenoxaos]

FWIW, class 6 would be better than class 10. Sure class 10 has higher throughput, but it's random access is typically slower.
