I purchased V1 of the iliad off ebay, it was the same deal as described by another member a week ago; V1 iliad NIB + 1gb sd.

Everything was shipped promptly and the device arrived as described.

I charged the iLiad overnight and copied some pdf files to the new 1gb SD card(fat16 formatted) but after inserting the card in my iliad I am not able to see any of the files.

I have tried this with the 1gb SD that came with the unit, my 2gb SD out of my pdf and a 512mb CF card to no avail. All of them are using fat16 file system and I had them mounted on my linux box with no problems.

Is there anything that I am missing here that I need before getting the SD card to work on my iLiad.

Edit: just for reference, i am able to access all of the pdf files using a USB stick via the port on top of the iliad

Edit2: I installed the devel kit and looking at the output of dmesg it seems like the inserting/ejecting the card doesn't trigger any kernel events. It's like the slot wasn't there. I also updated to 2.12 but that didn't do much.

Thanks
