Thanks to the above, I was able to flash the kernel with the MMC patches. For some reaon, i couldn't get it done with the Linux flasher, but I had no problem using the above to do it directly on the device.

RS-MMC is pretty much non-existent in stores, so I purchased a Hong Kong special on eBay. On its own, it came back to a read/write state, but with only 1GB reporting. Then, I managed to put it back to read-only by downloading some mp3s to the card. I put it in my linux laptop, and reformatted the card. I think my command was: mkdosfs -c -F 32 /dev/[mmcdevice] this worked just fine, but again was only 1GB, not 2. I put it in my 770 (running the patched 4.2007.46-3) and it seemed to be working fine, but when gpodder had downloaded about 1/2 of 3 podcasts (average of 12MB each) gpodder quit because the card had gone read-only. So, now I have the behavior pre and post kernel patch. I am ready to blame the card, however, using a usb-based card reader, I was able to copy abotu 500MB of data to it last night, using both Linux and Windows. So, the best I can tell, I have a decently-working 1GB rs-mmc card. Until now, flash cards had "just worked" for me, so I am treading in unfamiliar water, and would appreciate any help or pointers you can give. Also, is there a way to force the format to 2GB? It might be interesting to try. thank you in advance, Kevin -- In Vino Veritas http://astroturfgarden.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
