I now get all sort of weird behaviour:
I created ext2 on 1st partition on FR, then tried a fsck and got many "short read" errors, after that the partition table was gone.
I repartioned, created ext3 and after that could not even access SD card in any way.
dmesg gave a lot of:
[  244.985000] end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 169
[  244.995000] glamo-mci glamo-mci.0: Error after cmd: 0x8120
[  244.995000] mmcblk0: error -110 sending read/write command, response 0x0, card status 0x400b00
[  244.995000] end_request: I/O error, dev mmcblk0, sector 170
[  245.010000] glamo-mci glamo-mci.0: Error after cmd: 0x8120
[  245.010000] mmcblk0: error -110 sending read/write command, response 0x0, card status 0x400b00

Now even fdisk does not find the card anymore. As from the wiki I thought the card would work :(
