sounds like you found a lot of the stuff that I did, which is to say not much.  
I even tried the patch for the SD and MMC cards but it obviously didn't work 
for.  The thing that gets me is that the card is recognized in my lspci and 
dmesg as an XD card so I am not so sure that that is necessarily the problem.  
As for my Kernel, currently Iam running the 2.6.20-16-lowlatency kernel.  I 
have also tried the generic flavor as well as the 2.6.20-15- low latency and 
generic kernels all given me the same problem.  I have been thinking about 
trying the 2.6.20.12 and lower but I wanted to exhaust all posibilities with 
the one I have installed b4 installing yet another kernel.
I must admit that I havn't as of yet posted to Ubuntu Forums,  I will do that 
in the next day or so.

Thanks for your help
