Just to add, I've upgraded the box to Trusty, and the issue has gone away - here's the new uname -a

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have inserted a "Transcend" SD HC card at 4GB, which is successfully read on my Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS EEE PC, however, on this Acer V5-171 system, it is not reading the card. I have had the same issue with all SD cards inserted into this device. I have seen some reports from around 2012 which suggest that there may have been some issue in the Kernel around the OMAP MMC device, but as this is my "main" machine, and I only really spotted this while looking into another issue, I've not yet taken the opportunity to check the kernel patch suggested. Happy to try anything (including booting from a USB stick and trying out some stuff) just let me know what to try. lspci returns: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family DRAM Controller (rev 09) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI Host Controller (rev 04) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 (rev 04) 00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (rev 04) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev c4) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 2 (rev c4) 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 3 (rev c4) 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 04) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation HM77 Express Chipset LPC Controller (rev 04) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series Chipset Family 6-port SATA Controller [AHCI mode] (rev 04) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller (rev 04) 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM57785 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 10) 04:00.1 SD Host controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM57765/57785 SDXC/MMC Card Reader (rev 10) lsusb returns: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp.
