Re: SD & CF card; does ext2 really work?

Thanks Dave

Yes I have have a 256MB Sandisk SD Flash card.   I figured they would be 
a safe
bet for quality 8-(.     I did update the SD driver module to the latest 
patch  but it
still doesnt work.    I havent changed the  SL5500 kernel from the stock 
kernel
yet  ver 2.38.
