Can't Write To Sd Card

[Joeboo]

Hi,

 I've got a 5600 pdxa250 runnning the most recient qtopia with the special kernal.  I am trying to get a "generic" 128mb SD card to work on my Z and I am unable to transfer any files onto this card.  I've tried moving from my CF card and from the cradle with no luck.  The brand is Impact which I have never seen before, but Walmart started carrying them for black friday.  I exchanged the original card for a new one and I am still getting the same problem.  I have a 32mb Lexar SD card which works fine.  These are the error messages:

On my PC:

Please review with the "Error check" function on your Zaurus.
When I run dmesg on my Z:

select error
sd flush : ERROR adr = 51200 (0xc800) , len = 5
12 (0x200)
[sd]-R 14000 0200 ERROR!
pxa_sd_wait response:  responce time out (cmd=07
 MMC_STAT=0x2142)
sd_write_single(196609) : select error
this repeats many times and the last line is:

NETDEV WATCHDOG: usbd0: transmit timed out

Is there anything I can do about this problem?  ...drivers...settings...format..etc?

Also, on the first card I tried, I formated a couple times using FAT16 and ext2 and I tried formating with a digital camera.  

Thanks for your help,
Joeboo

Through my research on the forums I've learned that not all SD are created equal. Many manufacturers don't stick to the standard for i/o timings and the Z is very sensitive to this.
There was an updated SD driver but I think that was only for the 5500. I know it doesn't help much but you may have a card that won't function on the Z period. You said it reads in other devices, which is the case with many other SD cards that don't work with the Z.

That is what I suspected, but I'll keep hoping for a solution.

Thanks

I saw these cards and was thinking of buying one myself, so decided to search this forum just in case and saw your post. I guess I'll pass on this card even though I have a 5500 instead of the 5600. I have noticed that the Zaurus seems to be unconsistant with certain SD cards. As to card manufacturers not following spec, why is that other devices don't seem to have a problem with these same cards?

Yeah, would have been nice if it worked.  I gave one to my brother for his digital camera and it worked fine.  I gave up and exchanged mine a couple days ago for  Return of The King:EE.  I know deals are popping up all the time for these things, but it would have been nice to buy something local with no rebate.
