Installed Ubuntu 10.10, unfortunately the new clutter windows manager - mutter was a big disappointment, it has an obvious performance issue when comparing without mutter even on a slower atom processor! this made me go back to 10.04.
The new model seem to be using a different brand of SD card reader which has no driver support from linux...
lsusb shows the following:
ENE Flash
UB6250
606569746801
After google around, several of suggested grub and modprobe config changes doesn't work at all, finally found the driver has just been recently added to the kernel from version 2.6.36, which 10.04 came with 2.6.32 obviously wouldn't work.
The new kernel isn't available in the standard repository, but to add it, just follow these simple steps:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa
sudo apt-get update
apt-get install linux-image-2.6.37-8-generic
reboot with the new 2.6.37-8 kernel then you'll see the SD card!
