After all the confusion about the IQ and how it handles SD cards, I decided to swap the internal card for a bigger one.
See :

for my experiences with SD cards...
- I bought a *Transcend* 4Gb class 6 card.
- I'm running Eclair 2.0.6
- I exchanged the internal 2 GB with the new 4GB
- I inserted an external card with the 2.0.6 update ...
...and re-booted....
Everything appeared to be working fine. The card showed about 2.8 GB space, the rest is used by the Linux partitions as before.
But then suddenly files/books were not readable anymore on the IQ. The system would not even shut down and start up normally. When it started up I got the message that there was an internal memory problem and that I should contact my supplier...
I removed the card, tested on the PC, saw everything was broken, formatted the card and did the whole process again.
Same song as before, seemed to work first, things got from bad to worse and this time the card was totally unreadable and could not be formatted anymore.
I suspected a faulty card, claimed warranty, got a new card, and everything went the same as before.
This time I only tried once, the second new card was still useable on the PC, so I just gave up. I re-installed the original 2GB internal card and now I'm using an external 4 GB class 2 card without any problems.
Has this something to do with the brand of the card?
Other experiences, good or bad, which brand/type card?
Thanks, Tom
