Usually, a fresh SD card is formatted with a single FAT partition and
your messages look as if the MMC driver recognizes that but can't read
it.

What you could try (I assume that you use U-Boot as the boot loader)
is to install some more recent system (SHR or QtMoko) on the SD card
and try to boot from SD card. This would test two things:
a) if U-Boot can handle the card better
b) if a new kernel can handle the card better

Good luck,
Nikolaus
