Clean install of Debian hangs upon inserting SD Card

[Dyntaos]

Hello,

I am a new Debian user (just came over from using Ubuntu for 5 years). I have a clean install of Debian stretch (`uname -a` = "4.9.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.144-3 (2019-02-02) x86_64 GNU/Linux").

My laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad T520) has a built in SD card reader and when I insert any SD card, the kernel immediately hangs. The cursor doesn't move, the caps lock light doesn't toggle when I press caps lock. There are no signs of a responsive kernel at all.

The SD card reader worked fine in my previous install of Ubuntu and still works when I boot to an Ubuntu Live flash drive, so I know this is not a hardware issue. The live version of Ubuntu is 18.04LTS (unsure of kernel version at this time). My previous version of Ubuntu was 16.04LTS with kernel 4.15.0-45 (it also worked back on 4.4.0-142).

dmesg didn't seem to yield any useful information, however I have included a dmesg during the time I inserted an SD card and the system locked up.
Below is also my output from: lshw, lsmod and lspci. I have ran these in Ubuntu as well and diff'd them to see if there are any notable differences, which I did not see. I didn't want to post too much output so I have omitted posting the output from Ubuntu of these, but I can if anyone thinks it may help.



Note:
I do have some other issue with my SATA controller that I am also unsure what the cause is. This other issue did happen in Ubuntu so I am fairly certain they are unrelated. If anyone also has any suggestions for the ATA errors, I would be grateful as well, althought pressing issue is the SD card reader.
Info relating to the other issue: The system drive is an SSD. I have checked the smart status and reseated the drive.

Thanks in advance!

Could be a kernel problem. Try a backport kernel (4.17/4.18) ....

Okay, I will give that a shot.

What is the difference between these:

linux-image-4.19.0-0.bpo.1-amd64
linux-image-4.19.0-0.bpo.2-amd64

The "2" version is newer than the "1" version.

Install the metapackage to ensure your kernel version is kept updated.

For anyone else who may experience this issue, I updated to stretch-backports:
linux-image-amd64
linux-image-4.19.0-0.bpo.2-amd64

This has resolved my issue. Thanks again for the help!
