[olpc-help] SD Card not mounting

[Larry J. Maltin]

Kevin, I had an initial problem with my SD. It was a "simple" matter of 
the card not sitting correctly in the slot. I put the tiniest bit of 
silicone lubricant along the card's side rails, and just a tiny bit on 
the label side. I carefully slid the card into the slot, being sure that 
it was "square" to the opening. I then pushed the card in "just past the 
barely audible click, and then released it (making sure that it hadn't 
begun to eject). My lappy said "thanks" and registered the card. I 
should caution you as to the obvious, you not want to get anything on 
the contacts, as the lubricant is non-conductive.

As I said, that worked for me. Good luck,
Larry
