 I have a class 4 4 gig Kingston SDHC card (SD4/4GB).  It has been
 partitioned with one ext3 partition which has Xubuntu installed on it.
 Occasionally the partition mmcblk0p1 disappears.  A quick fdisk
 /dev/mmcblk0,n,p,1,1,123488,a,1,w fixes the issue and Fedora remounts the
 partition successfully.  This only occurs while running OLPC's version of
 Fedora (when running off of the SD card it never loses the partition). I
 noticed it starting with build 653, and it is still happening with Joyride
 1570, but it may be a problem for 650 as well, but I upgraded to 653
 shortly after installing XUbuntu on the SD Card.
