Bug Description

After I put my laptop into suspend and return, the flash card reader no longer works. When I insert a flash card into it, the reader does not flash it's access light, and there is nothing added to dmesg output to indicate that the card was detected.

I had a similar problem in Dapper, which I was able to solve by rmmod'ing the mmc_core module and then modprobe'ing it.
I tried doing that with all the related modules I could find, but it didn't help.
I have to reboot to restore the reader to working.

The reader is a Texas Instruments 5-in-1. I'm on a Compaq Presario M2000 Laptop, running Kubuntu Edgy Eft (6.10).
"dmesg | grep -i flash" gives:
06:09.3 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments PCIxx21 Integrated FlashMedia Controller

Attaching my /var/log/kern.log
The section shows the output from a suspend, resume, reboot and insert the card.
I've marked the start of each action in the log file.
I also inserted the flash card after resuming but before rebooting, but you'll notice that the log does not record any activity for that.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.
