Sd Card Fails On Insert, Can't get my SD card to work, help! Options

[colm]

UPDATE: Just tried OZ+opie, same thing from Dmesg

Hi Folks,

Just got a noname 1GB SD Card, seen on lots of posts that brand is quite important for zaurus, but chanced on a cheap (£40) ebay auction. Card is used - normal usage scoring on contacts.
When I insert the card, the SD card icon does not appear

dmesg reports:
SD read CRC error : ffff : d1d7
VFS : Disk change detected on device mmcd(60,1)
(9 times, presumably the retries)

#mkdosfs /dev/mmcda1
mkdosfs 2.8 (28 Feb 2001)
/dev/mmcda1: No such device or address

hardware: 2nd Hand Zaurus 5500 (£70 from ebay)

this is the first SD card I've tried, so I can't confirm that the slot works (only have CF and memory sticks in other devices...), but the "Disk change detected" reported in dmesg is promising that the hardware at least works. Can't confirm that the card works elsewhere until tomorrow...

running Sharp 3.1 rom, just about to try latest OZ+opie

Think reformatting the card via iPaq or PC might work?

Hello everyone I have an sl-5600 running the latest OZ(3.5.4 i think) + opie And I bought a 4GB mmc card (brand is pqi ) but it is not working at all in my Z. Every time I insert it the Z slows way down to the point of unusability . After a whille it starts running again but I still can't see the card. I tried reformatting it ext2 to no avail. I tried a 2GB card earlier but tha tdid the same thing. Does anyone know if the Z can handle a card this big? If not can it handle CF microdrives that big ? Thanks.
