Hi ma_jk,
congrats to your first build! I've been eagerly awaiting this, and since I have a cam which says it's firmware version is GM1.00E, E18, dated Jan 8 2008, I figured I could help and test this build.
I got a new Panasonic 1GB SD card (for reference: model RP-SDR01G) today and successfully followed the available instructions for using cardtricks on it. I can see the DISKBOOT.BIN and ver.req on the card afterwards. I locked it and placed it in the cam, but sadly, the only thing I get is a "card locked" message in playback mode, and a reduced menu in shooting mode (including another "card locked" message). Shooting is, as you may guess, impossible.
Maybe I'm just missing something very obvious, since I'm a first time user of this.
If someone has a hint for me, I'd be grateful.
Keep up the fantastic work, ma_jk (and all other contributors to this port and CHDK in general) - I'm amazed by the potential it adds to our cameras. Thanks a lot to all of you,
cheers,
Cyro
