Hi,

I've got a Sheevaplug and I'm using a 4GB SD card to hold the OS.

PS My environment and uBoot version are attached below.

There is a bug in Sheevaplug uboot 3.4.19 which corrupts the environment (see console=a0000 and following line above).

This is now fixed in 3.4.27, but two further issues have been found, and pingtoo has produced fixes -see http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=1134.31 .

It appears

that the best uboot is 3.4.27 as patched by pingtoo,

Dear Quentin Armitage Can you please try latest mainlined u-boot for this problem? Ref: http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Das_U-boot_plug_support

Beware though, and it applies not only to 3.4.27, but also

3.4.19 and

...

3.4.16 and probably earlier, that it appears there is a bug in the SDHC handling, and that uboot will not be able to handle offsets greater than 4Gb on the card; you should be safe with your 4Gb card of course.
