Look at the kernel boot messages for the SD card
check.

Is it probing at 25MHz or 50MHz?

I haven't tried RPi in a little while, but last time I did
there was an erratic bug which caused the SD card
to sometimes get probed at 50MHz and be non-functional.

I believe some people worked around this by trying
different cards or maybe it's been fixed in the
SD driver by now?
