I don't know if this is of any interest for the SDCard-Problem,
there is a Bug at google with mounting extendet partitions:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3126


Code:
 Reported by addison2005, Jun 30, 2009

1. Insert a SD card with FAT format.
2. The FAT use a mmcblk0p5 partition.
3. In the current vold, it can not mount the partition number that exceeds 
four.

Is there a fast solution?

Thanks.

There is no way to solve this problem yet. The problem is that the google code does 
not mount FAT other than "2" number of FATs. You need to format your SD card on the 
menu "Format SD card", and your card will be mounted.

I'm sorry, but Android does not support > 4 partitions (extended partitions)
