SDHC Card Compatibility

I saw your discussion of this earlier. It sounds like SD and SDHC cards need to be tested individually.

When I installed a MicroCenter IPSG 16GB SDHC Class 6 Card ($30+shipping), I had no trouble with installing Flite using GDebi.

I've tested it over a couple of days and there are no intermittent problems.

Do you think it's because your card is 32GB?

It may be how the card is formatted as well. You could try a full format (FAT32) instead of Quick Format in Windows or you could use GParted.

People who want more than 2GB on an SD card (not SDHC) can try the TOP RAM 4 GB Mini SD Card via its adapter. I was able to partitition this card (GParted) and used it to boot Mer on the Q7.

However, customers at Amazon have reported long-term problems. I originally purchased the TOP RAM 1.5 years ago for a Dell Axim x30 and have not had any problems since then. My usage may be different in that I don't pull the card in and out very often.
