Comment(by rhk):

 I'm not sure if this is the same bug as the one reported.. If not, I can
 file it as new:

 The SD card seems to stop working every now and then: this time again it
 might have something to do with suspend: The phone has been connected with
 the USB on the computer and was suspended once before I switched to power
 management: disabled.

 Here's some dmesg: http://pastebin.com/f55f4cc68

 But the funny thing is that you never know what's answering when you type
 ls /media/card..

 }}}

 on the card I have the log files, hp, maps, music, orrery and so on, on
 /media/card (on the internal memory of the phone) I have only the maps
 folder (tangogps wrote stuff there when the card was not mounted).

 So I mounted the card as /media/card but right after the mount command it
 didn't work. Then I did something else and suddenly it works again. So
 either it's very random or mounting is slow or something..
