Edward's onto something. 

In addition to all the other issues with Dave's 2 GB SD card, 
there are known compatibility issues with 2 GB SD cards.

The compatibility issues are in _addition_ to the issues 
mentioned by other authors. You still have to heed their 
advice also. 

2GB (and 4GB) cards are so problematic, that I skipped over them 
to SDHC cards. Unfortunately, many SD readers can not read SDHC cards.
