I'm having the same problem installing the new firmware (1.5) on my old Cybook Gen 3. I'm using a 2GB SD card with nothing but the kernel on it. The Cybook recognizes the SD card, but when I hold down the center button on start-up, I can't get it to start installing the new firmware. Each time, I've held the button down firmly--up until it boots onto the library page and opens the last viewed document.

I tried reformatting the SD card (FAT again, as before) and putting the kernel back on, taking out and reinserting the SD card (with the power off), and many attempts to get the firmware to load, all to no avail.

Anyone have any ideas what else I can do?
