Re: Haret won't boot up from SD card ... again

Have you tried to reformat the SD (either in windows or in a digital camera).
as i understand it has to be FAT16 formatted. Try formatting it again and
repeat all the steps. If that fails then I suggest you try with another SD
card . I had a problem with my CF card when i was trying to flash the kernel
with linux and it turned out that the CF card for some reason wasnt being
detected , so when i changed the CF card it worked out of the box.

sorry not much help, but hopefully that should fix it.

good luck.
