There are a plethora of Transflash / microSD cards out there.
Earlier, Sandisk cards were recommended, since they seemed to cause the least amount of trouble.
There has been a bug in the SD device driver (s3cmci) which caused some troubles. Please make sure you use a recent kernel which applies our kernel patchset rev2832 or higher.
Booting from SDHC requires a u-boot from 2008-07-23 or later.
Note that most vendors are using an irritating way of labeling the capacity of their cards (They are using the factor 1000 instead of 1024 for KB and MB). Therefore the real capacity of these cards will be about 5% less than the vendor's specification. For example, cards labelled 6 GB will only have 5.7 GB of storage capacity.

Note that cards with a "no" may still work at times, but that we just have found their behaviour too erratic to consider acceptable. (Also note that this is a bug in our version of u-boot. The cards are probably fine.)
