For a number of us, the card would not dismount - spinning beach ball I think. Ejecting the card manually led to a 'reinsert' message. Upon reinserting the media card, a kernel panic resulted. Many of us found that by waiting several minutes, with the beach ball, the card eventually was successfully unmounted. My own experimentation showed that the wait time needed was probably dependent on the media card capacity. One post referred to discarding the system caches's, with Cocktail or whatever utility. I did this and it ended my problem. -- Regards, Steve (is tv wake zone?)
