short syslog except with debian kernel 3.1.0-1-amd64

I have a ThinkPad T520 with:

When inserting a Kingston Ultimate 133x 8 GB SD card and trying to download images via Digikam I get I/O errors like

after a while.

This does not happen when I use an external USB card reader to access this SD card.

I attach some logs with kernel

Linux version 3.1.0-1-amd64 (Debian 3.1.0-1~experimental.1) (waldi@debian.org) (gcc version 4.6.1 

I will attach some more logs with 3.0 in the next step. I also have some older logs but I didn´t note the exact kernel version for these.

I can retry with with 3.2-rc7 or 3.2 final when the debian kernel for it is out.

I just report this know, cause this bug is possibly related to:

Lenovo T420 (Sandy Bridge) Crashes on SD Card gpt partition writing and io errors on insert
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38922

I do think however that I had this with 2.6.39 already as well, but I am not completely sure.

Thanks,
Martin

Alan, how do you come to think that my report is a duplicate? I see it as related, but in my case the cardreader basically works. Except for the times it doesn´t and returns errors.

SD cards are detected on insertion in my case. Thanks, Martin

Its one of a set of reports on the same controller/laptop all of which appear to be symptoms of the same things
Comment 5 Martin Steigerwald 2013-01-12 17:26:43 UTC 
I do not see this anynore on my ThinkPad T520. I just download a ton of photos from a SD card and it just works. Did so before. I think since 3.7 its gone for good. Now I was using 3.8-rc3 + some git.
