altboot issue after fresh install

Hi folks,

I'm sure someone will have seen this one before but I searched the
list and came up with nothing. I've been trying the resurrect my
collie.

I flashed my 5500 with OZ 3.5.4 / GPE 2.7 from one of the mirrors
(checked the md5s, they're OK) and it installed fine. I booted into
the system and all was good.

I then copied the gpe-image-3.5.4-collie.rootfs.tar.gz and
opie-image-3.5.4-collie.rootfs.tar.gz files onto my SD card (which has
worked before with OZ) and tried to go into advanced->install from
tar.gz in the altboot menus. The first time I tried it, it failed
daying that it's unable to mount the SD card. I tried again and it
then consistently said that insmod failed while loading. I guessing
here that it's the SD driver loading that's failing.

I was under the impression that 3.5.4 worked on the collie with SD
card, it was only the 3.5.4.X series that has the 2.6 kernel and hence
no SD support for the collie. Is that right?

Does anyone know how I can get my Z to run from SD card with altboot?

Many thanks.
