[ts-7000] SD card trouble

I have TS SD card driver partially (ro) working on my 2.6.25 kernel. I
am linking against 

ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7260-linux/binaries/ts-modules/sdcore.o

I've essentially removed everything from tssdcard.c which does not
compile against 2.6.25 blkdev.h and I am using reqmode RM_NOQUEUE (the
simples one). With these modifications I have read-only mode working.
I can browse the FAT16 filesystem on my SD card. However, as soon as I
hit first sdwrite call (I have printk message just before the line)
the system freezes (sdwrite call blocks forever). If I turn on SD card
write protect sdwrite call returns immediately with error core 1.

Any ideas how to proceed with this?

It is completely unclear what is the relation between the sd* files
under
ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7260-linux/binaries/ts-modules/.
sdcore.o is rather old but it is the only one which is clean and
self-contained and does not contain non-existing references.

I do appreciate the fact there is a SD card library available (even if
it's in binary form) but I do think TS should be doing more to allow
people to use upstream kernel on their hardware. The hardware is great.
