This is actually a fairly common problem with the EEE PC. Thinking on
the net has it that the built-in SD reader simply doesn't get enough
power. It occurs in Linux and XP.

Recently, some folks over at http://forum.eeeuser.com/ claim to have
had success by using an overclocking utility to adjust the voltage
of the processor without changing its clock speed. See:

I have not tried it (I don't have an SDHC card), so I can't vouch
for it.
