Seeing the last forum post complaints, i have to say, that for me at least, all these CHDKs working without any problem. I tried the 355c, r535 (0.6.2) and now r551 (0.7.2) on a 1.01a and they are operating as expected. I do not understand, what problem could cause the hang for others?
As I wrote, the older Version 0.7.2 is working for me too. The major problems start with 0.8.0 from the autobuild.
I have to admit, that i did not tried just a few CHDK options (eg. not tested the RAW writing), but what i tried, all worked. Anytime i tried to enter to CHDK menu, it did as expected, never hanged by pressing the blue 'Direct Print' button.
You don't even have to press the blue 'Direct Print' button. Camera freezes during startup. No user intervention is needed here. (0.8.0/0.8.1)
The 0.7.2 version also is quite buggy and unstable, imho. If you switch to play mode, the camera crashes, same on a few other functions. Not really usable yet.
Now, i'll try the new r586 (0.8.1) version next week on my 2GB SD-Card and going to report back either it works or not.
I'm interested in your results. Please post it together with your firmware ID.
Best regards,

Well, my enthusiasm was a bit early...
This week i tried to install 'ixus80_sd1100-101a-0.8.7-616-full.zip' from the trunk with CardTricks 1.43 on a 2GB Kingston Elite Pro 50x SD-Card (not SDHC) an the result is: 'CARD IS LOCKED' message.
I was shocked. I made the formatting/installing process ahgain - with the same result. As a reverse-checking, i tried my 32MB small SD-Card with the same file/build, and it worked perfectly! Actually, with the 32MB card, every build worked that i tried so far (or at least: started properly, menus worked etc..). Strange...
Next week i'll try to put various builds to the 2GB card (olders and newer ones) to find out, if ANY of those runs at all.
By the way, i have FW 1.01A and always download/install the full build from the trunk.
