ERROR: device '/dev/mmcblk1p3' not found. Skipping fsck

I am greeted with with the following screen:

starting version 234
[       3.740314] mmc2: card never left busy state
[       3.740409] mmc2: error -110 whilst initialising SD card
ERROR: device '/dev/mmcblk1p3' not found. Skipping fsck.
mount: /new_root: no filesystem type specified.
You are now being dropped into emergency shell.
sh: cant access tty; job control turned off

If id do the following

cd /dev
ls

there is no

mmcblk1p3

, but there is

mmcblk0p3

. Anything I can do?

Yes, provide some information about your setup. Read How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
and then post details of your partition table, boot loader/manager and relevant configs.

Given that /dev/mmcblkXpX partition schemes are found exclusively on ARM and embedded devices (I see the same setup on, say, my Kindle Touch, and Google returns tons and tons of links referencing Android), and given the mention of "initialising SD card", I feel extremely safe saying "This is not Arch, please seek support at the support forums for whichever other distribution you installed" (e.g. archlinuxarm).

There are some x86 chromebooks that use that setup as well, hence my question.
