Hey folks,

Does anyone want to confirm that the errors I am getting (see http://pastebin.com/QTKKFBbj) indicate a problem with the microSD card, or is it possible that the phone itself has an issue?

I am using a 32GB class 10 microSD card.

There is not much evidence that the phone itself is affected. The dmesg output just shows errors for one partition. This might further indicate to the external card, may be just this one partition being corrupted. Try to fsck the partition, possibly with repair options.
Code:
sudo gainroot
umount /dev/mmcblk1p6
fsck -af /dev/mmcblk1p6
fsck -r /dev/mmcblk1p6
Remount the partition to check for errors in kernel messages again.

The partition has corrupted multiple times, and fsck was not able to help, the only solution was to re-create the fs, which would work for a while, until I actually tried to use it (eg: apt-get upgrade in easy debian) and then it would corrupt.

Well did You tried formatting the whole card?
If fsck didn't help recreating fs didn't help then you can try replacing it It's under warranty I assume.

Well you did not mention Easy Debian before....
Did you try to fsck the EasyDebian-Image itself? Which version of the image do you use?
Hope someone knowledgable people about Easy Debian chip in, because i just know nothing about it.

No I have not done that yet, that will be my next step.

I copied image in the standard way I have done for my other microSD card (mounting both microSD cards and copying the files over - preserving permissions)

This is starting to look more like an issue with the Nokia N900, as I am having problems reproducing this error on my netbook.
Has anyone been able to get a 32GB microSD to work propery in the Nokia N900?
UPDATE - 03/16/2011 13:50PST: Patriot Memory suggested switching out the microSD for a class 6 microSD, incase this is compatibility issue.

From further research, I can only reproduce the issue when I am using Maemo5 to access the microSD card, when I use "Mass Storage Mode" and copy files onto the microSD card from my computer, the issue goes away.

So, this leads me to ask a few questions:

1) Is there a incompatibility in the Linux Kernel (2.6.28.10power46) on the Nokia N900 with 32GB class 10 microSD cards?

2) Has anyone tried a 32GB microSD card with Maemo5? - and did it work properly?

3) Has anyone tried a class 10 microSD with Maemo5? - and did it work properly?

4) Is there any way to upgrade the kernel beyond 2.6.28 on the Nokia N900?
