Hi all,

like Kaz I'm another linux devotee, and I had similar problems, but I think I might have found the solution.

My kobo glo wouldn't see my 2GB sansdisk micro sd card, but other things would. I noticed that the card is formated without partitions, so instead of having partitions like a normal disk, the whole device is treated as a partition with a filesystem on it (hence, it appears under linux as '/dev/sdb' instead of '/dev/sdb1'. '/dev/sdb1' would mean 'first partition on device sdb'). So, I used fdisk to create a partition, and then made a vfat file system on the resulting partition (/dev/sda1). Plugged it into the kobo, and rebooted the kobo.

And it works!
