Booting the gumstix from a micro SD card
Currently, I boot the gumstix from a 2GB micro SD card. NOTE that 4GB SDHC does work to boot from. If booting from flash, the card is found and read/write works fine even with 4GB. Probably the U-boot version does not support SDHC cards. These instructions for setting up the MicroSD card works fine for me. Don't forget to enable the MMC_ROOT by uncommenting the line in the ~/gumstix/gumstix-oe/com.gumstix.collection/conf/machine/gumstix-custom-verdex.conf
MACHINE_FEATURES += "mmcroot"
