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?

One question I have:
Can you use the 1Gig card As-is formated vfat or do you have to reformat it ext2?

I'd rather keep it formated vfat if possible.
