Subject: MMC: CRC Errors with 2GB cards

 Hi, 

 I am seeing a lot of CRC errors happening with CMD25 on a couple 
 of Transcend 2GB cards (specifiation version 1.1).  However, if 
 I apply the following patch, I see no errors being reported

 				printk(KERN_ERR "%s: status = %08x\n",

 I noticed that at times the card is not actually in transfer 
 state when it recieves the second consecutive 
 MULTIPLE_BLOCK_WRITE cmd.  As per the simplified specification 
 available, all class 4 commands including CMD25 can be issued 
 only in tra state, though its also specified that READY_FOR_DATA 
 indicates whether the card can accept new data.

 I am just wondering if I have set of broken cards.  Any pointers 
 in this regard?

 Thanks and Regards,
 Roopesh.
