Agreed that it is unlikely to be a problem with the eMMC, but...

At this point in the thread we are only guessing that the problem is in the eMMC.
That would need to be confirmed or denied first.

One thing that might lead to a decision about the eMMC part would be to output the "Smart Report" the chip has available internally.

See:
http://drpbox.knetconnect.com/k3/KLMxGxxEHx.pdf
Page 11, Section 4.2 and following.

There is a relatively new tool for reporting the registers of MMC devices:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kerne....git;a=summary

I have "git clone'd" that repository and started reading the source to see if it covers the Samsung "Smart Report" function.
But have not (yet) finished the reading and the comparing with the Samsung documentation.

The tool is new, and from the small bit of source I have read, the author is working first on supporting the 4.3 MMC standard features and registers.
