I have a SanDisk 6GB SDHC Class4 that I have been able to boot from for
a very long time, at least since some u-boot-1.3.0'ish.
The info on:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_from_SD
was actually rather helpful.
What I miss, in this regard, is:
1.The possibility to fix the kernel that I boot from, to a partition on
the flash-card.
2.The possibility to not have /etc/fstab overwritten at every reboot, so
that I can edit it and have it stay the way I want.
3. Points 1. and 2. are in order to be able to have fully independent
installations, to be able to boot up like with LILO on a desktop Linux
installation.
And if u-boot had USB support implemented so that I could upload an
image from my desktop Linux straight to the flash-card without having to
boot the Neo all the way to a Linux system, that would be really
helpful, too.

According to http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Booting_from_SD that seems
to be a known issue (4G and up are "SDHC" rather than "SD") but I
don't see an entry for it in Bugzilla. It might be worth filing one,
including the output of the u-boot "mmcinit" command for your card.
