Some potential patches/fixes (from old/related bug reports) for those who can implement..
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28462 (said to have been merged in v3.0-rc1: - maybe it has fixed the problem for JMicron Technology Corp. SD/MMC Host Controllers, but certainly not for SD Host controller: Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822 SD/SDIO/MMC/MS/MSPro Host Adapter (rev 22)) http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mmc/msg06130.html https://launchpadlibrarian.net/73060689/mmc%3A%20sdhci%3A%20work%20around%20broken%20dma%20boundary%20behavior ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #28462 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28462 ** Description changed: HP 6700 Series Laptop with built-in SD (and multi-) card reader. SD card reader displays incomplete or corrupted files. Eg, jpgs shown as random coloured thumbnail or random characters. Some files are not displayed at all. Some files are correctly displayed. Also 'Error interpreting JPEG file (Bogus DQT index 15)' and 'Error interpreting JPEG file (JPEG datastream contains no image)' Opening an affected file (if you can see it) does not work. Different error messages occur - 'could not open file' or 'type not supported' 'could not display' etc. Some correctly displayed files also yield these messages. Ejecting the card usually results in Nautilus closing/crashing. In some cases browsing the file structure or attempting to open some files also crashes Nautilus. When it closes there is no prompt for bug report. The card reader was a problem a couple of years ago (8? Series of Ubuntu) on my HP Laptop - simply didn't work at all but since Karmic/Lucid it's worked flawlessly. The bug is present in 10.10 and 11.04 (no change or improvement). 10.04 works perfectly. Not having the Nautilus crashing problem anymore (in 11.10) and haven't seen the randomly coloured thumbnails (as shown in screenshot from bug report 649912.
