There is a plethora of Transflash / microSD cards out there.

Earlier, Sandisk cards were recommended, since they seemed to cause the least amount of trouble.

Reports from anyone having 8GB cards would be welcome.

There has been a bug in the SD device driver (s3cmci) which caused some troubles. Please make sure you use a recent kernel which applies our kernel patchset rev2832 or higher.

Note that cards with a "no" may still work at times, but that we just have found their behaviour too erratic to consider acceptable. (Also note that this is a bug in our version of u-boot. The cards are probably fine.)
