Sounds like a broken card reader or sd driver on your host system to me!

Just in case you don't have this part nailed down, heres the /etc/ 
fstab from one of my workstations:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/mapper/vg0-lv_root   /               reiserfs defaults         
0       1
/dev/hdb1                             /boot           ext3     
defaults        0       2
/dev/mapper/vg0-lv_build /build          reiserfs defaults

0       0

hopefully Yahoo won't mess up the formatting.  This shows a pretty  
good example of splitting a root filesystem among several different  
partitions.   In your case, you would probably do something like this:

/dev/sdcard1/part1     /           ext3  defaults,ro  0 1
/dev/sdcard2/part1     /var     ext3   defaults      0 1

Keeping in mind that I don't know off the top of my head what the name  
of your sd device are :-)
