You will need to reformat the card to ext2 for this to work. You may be able to do this from the Neo once the full OS is up, but, as your third point seems to indicate, it may not have FAT support built in out-of-the-box. Otherwise you will need a desktop system with a flash card reader. This will need to be a proper reader, and not another handset connected via USB, as the profile that is used in that case, Mass Storage Profile, relies on the underlying media being FAT based.

Firstly in order to do this, would require Mass Storage Profile to be implemented in either Linux or uboot. Secondly, as I noted above, if you did this, then the card would have to be formatted as FAT. > I am not given a device file, eg. /dev/sda1, to mount the SD card when > in the GTA01, so something seems to be missing. > I have tried to exchange the 512MB card that came with the GTA01 with > one that I use in my mobile and is populated with files, and the result > is the same. Is there anything meaningful in the kernel debug? It sounds like the media type is unsupported (no FAT support built in?) It's been a while since I Judging from http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_from_SD it seems that this is the likely cause. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Pinpoint customers who are looking for what you sell. http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com/
