50g freezes on SD card access

[JDW]

Folks, thank you for all the input. I spoke to my friend and he updated from 2.08 to 2.15 and used a 512MB SD card and said the problem was resolved.

He said he previously (prior to ROM upgrade) tried microSD cards with an Adapter and none of those worked. But he also said that he lives in Brazil and many companies there advertise SD card sizes that are not in fact the size you get.

Lastly, he added that after updating the ROM, his 50g will format the SD card as FAT32. I mention that because someone earlier in this thread said FAT16 is "a must." I would think if that is true, the 50g would use that format. But in fact, it uses FAT32. Hmmm.

Anyway, thanks to all who helped my friend!
