Morning, Eero, I tried reformatting in the device (a few times) - no go. If I plug any of the cards into a card reader, Windows can see the data and I was able to copy the data to Windows prior to attempting reformat. After attempting reformat, Windows can still see the data. BTW - I tried a 128MB card and it worked, for a while. I did a restore of bookmarks and GPE data and the N800 did an automatic restart. After that - can't see the 128MB card either. Fortunately I was able to copy the backup files to the 128 card and get the restore going. So I've tried three cards - 2 2GB cards and 1 128MB card. The 128MB card worked until a reboot now it doesn't. Since the cards worked fine for the backup I did before installing 2008 and the 128 worked after, I'm assuming this is related to 2008. I'll be submitting a bug report this morning. When the cards are selected, the error is: "Memory card is incorrectly formatted or corrupted. Device can try to restore files by repairing the card." Selecting "Repair" has no effect. Running dmesg produces: USB hub found 1 port detected Standalone hub Individual port power switching No over-current protection -----------------*****------------------ Mmcblk1: error 1 transferring data End request: I/O error, dev mmcblk1, sector 133 Printk: 181 messages suppressed.

I've attached the complete dmesg file for your review. Lastly, no, Windows cannot see the cards when they are in the device and the device is connected via USB to the computer. But if I remove the cards, they are visible as is their data. I've also noticed that xterm has an interesting bug - when you try to close it with a control-D, it hangs and never goes away until you restart the device. I'll check to see if there's a bug report on that. It's nice that xterm is included; however, it's a bit different than the downloaded xterm I used under 2007. I sent the dmesg.output file to me using the 2008 mail client and the e-mail went; however, like xterm, it didn't close so I have two programs that won't close. Time for a shutdown. :-) Thanks, Nick. -----Original Message----- From: Eero Tamminen [mailto:eero.tamminen@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2008 01:58 To: ext Dr. Nicholas Shaw Cc: 'Mark'; maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Memory card recognization issue in OS2008 Hi, ext Dr. Nicholas Shaw wrote: >>> Ok, new challenge.

If you plug in the USB cable, can Windows access the card through the device? (i.e. is the issue in recognizing the card itself, or just the partition contents) If you run "dmesg" (e.g. from device X terminal) after re-inserting the card, what it says? - Eero >> You ever have one of those days when you want to take >> all your gizmos outside and blast them with a shotgun? :-) Last weekend, with our DVD player (didn't eject the disk before I dismantled and closed again the case, then it mysteriously started working again without doing anything else)...
