gta02, 2007.2, uboot 1.3.2-moko12, recent kernel: what happens to sd card?

[arne anka]

i update an hour ago and becaus i want to install debian to my sd card i  
updated ubot to the latest available version  
(u-boot-gta02v5-1.3.1+gitr68+650149a53dbdd48bf6dfef90930c8ab182adb512-r0.bin).
while installing debian every attempt eventually fails becaus of the sd  
card (4gig kingston) with
Input/output error
i remember reading smething about fixes in newer kernels that should get  
rid of some of the problem sw/ sd cards -- are the i/o errors still  
"normal" atm (at least w/ bigger cards, the included 512mb seems to be ok)?
