You all may need a BIOS update. All the EeePCs have had issues with big SD cards. I updated the BIOS on my 900 and have a 16gb SDHC in the slot. The card is full of music and is never a problem. I am running Lenny.
If you look at the BIOS change logs you will see the updates have "fix for issues with some SD cards...." The tricky bit is applying the BIOS updates after you have trashed Xandros. I had to find a old 1 gb USB thumb drive, because it has to be formatted as fat16 to apply the patch (so must be 2gb or less). Download the updated BIOS from ASUS - appropriate to you model - and copy to the USB drive as the only file, then restart the EeePC and boot from the USB. Last tip, the updated BIOS must have the correct naming convention, for me it was xxxxxx.900, otherwise it will not be recognised as a BIOS update. It won't necessarily have the correct name format when you first download it (mine did not). :) ===================== Greg Eden Melbourne PC User Group, Australia -----Original Message----- From: elijah r. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Damyan Ivanov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Pedro Gapski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [email protected] Subject: Re: [Debian-eeepc-devel] boot halts when SD card is inside slot Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2008 15:26:52 -0500 > Is it possible that the filesystem on the card is damaged somehow? > I doubt it in my case; it occured even after I zero'ed out the disk.
