I think galliumos had some patches for that. No clue if this is the one needed or if it even still works.

Hi there! were you able to get it working? Same issue as you and same device, tried several distros already but when copying files it locks up. Tried installing windows and that works. Really need to get this working for my child’s upcoming school activity. Thanks!

Having the same issue here.
I was able to get GalliumOS running on my Ultima, but that OS is based on Ubuntu Bionic, which is pretty long in the tooth.
As I understand it, this is due to a change in the MMC driver sometime during the 5.X series of kernels. I’ve seen messages that indicate a fix was put added to the mainline kernel at some point, but I don’t see any proof that that is the case (based on trying to install with a recent kernel).

Do I need to add any special boot options to work around the issue? I assume that it would be something with sdhci.debug_quirks or sdhci.debug_quirks2.

Anybody?
