after some fiddling with the procedures etc. I did get
QTopia to run from microSD. Nothing special, but after
I have applied 

echo 1 > /sys/module/glamo_mci/parameters/sd_idleclk


fix even after reboot my card is recognized. Does that
mean that those parameters are written into ROM ? Does
it also mean that my GPS functionality is affected as
I recall that was the fix for slow "fix" times on GPS.

So in my case I wanted to have QTopia on microSD as it
doesn't support GPS anyway and run OM2008.8 natively
to use GPS. Do I have to extract microSD card every
time to use GPS or should I script into OM2008.8 to:

echo 0 > /sys/module/glamo_mci/parameters/sd_idleclk

on startup and 

echo 1 > /sys/module/glamo_mci/parameters/sd_idleclk

on shutdown ?
