Comment(by mikus):

 If the 'fdisk' output you showed is for the card that you have problems
 with - then /dev/mmcblk0p1 has self-contradicting definitions -- the
 existing partition __table__ specifies that what is there is of type
 Windows, whereas if you ran mkfs.ext3 against that partition then the
 partition __content__ would claim what is there is of type Linux.

 Before completely redoing the whole SD card, you might try 'fdisk
 /dev/mmcblk0' and use command 't' against partition 1 to change its type
 to '83' (and command 'w' to save the changed partition table).  Then run
 mkfs.ext3 (or whatever) against that partition again.
