The SD standard was based on the MMC standard which only went to 1 Gig. Read about SD cards in our wiki. Some older firmware only support up to 1 gig in the boot phase without regard to what they support when the OS finally boots. I suspect the older firmware the user has from a couple of years ago is such firmware. This really has nothing to do with what you buy today but was intended to help someone with firmware that was from 2008.
