Hey I'm new to the forum. Just bought a N900 a couple weeks ago. I've been reading on the forum for a little while trying to learn all I can from all the gifted owners of this device!

I am posting because I am quite stuck. I recently purchased an 8gb micro sd and the n900 does not recognize it. I have read about the back cover having to be on and mine is....I also have the kickstand magnet in place and everything is ok there.

In x-term I ran dmesg and I get:

mmc0: cover is closed, card is now accessible

...as if it recognizes that the card is in there....

But I can't find the card anywhere in the device. File directory, memory info in settings....I just can't figure it out.

I have tried another card and I am getting more of the same. I'm just really trying all my options before claiming it as defective.

Everything else on the N900 works perfectly (really love the FM transmitter!)

If anyone can help me I would very much appreciate it and big kudos! Thank you!

p.s. If this is in the wrong forum I'm sorry, I just saw n900 and thought it would be relevant....and thank you guys for all the other tips and tricks I have learned from the boards! Thank you again!
