I have a SanDisk Ultra II 4Gb SD Card, in a MkII GP2X with Firmware 2.1.1, the card has been formatted FAT32 with an SD Reader in Windows XP.
If I copy files to the SD Card, and start the GP2X, and use Games, Explorer, etc, the SD Card menus appear empty, and nothing happens if I go Settings / USB. If I flick the power off and on again, the GP2X boots, then sees the SD Card fine, and USB functions as normal.
This seems to happen when re-inserting the SD Card after having it ejected, and when the GP2X has been powered off for a period of time (5 minutes or more).
I have a normal SanDisk 1Gb card which functions perfectly, and does not have the issue described above.
The SanDisk website indicates that all current-model 4G SD Cards are SDHC, with the part number "SDSDRH-4096", however mine has the part number that corresponds with the older SD Card spec, as seen on earlier 512Mb-2Gb cards, "SDSDH-4.0". The packaging has the older SD(tm) logo, not the newer SDSH(tm), so I'm pretty confident it's not an SDSH card. (Although SD Association claims any 4Gb card is either SDSH, or non-compliant SD/SDSH)
Any ideas? My first assumption is flaky firmware compatibility. Perhaps I should just get two older 2Gb cards and swap between them as required...
