Hi, n00b question here. I've been following this thread for a while now. I have build 100.c. I've installed chdk and have been able to navigate the menus and set some options following the information in the chdk wiki. I still can't figure out how to take shots however. On screen I constantly have the message "insufficient space on card". On the mac it shows my card as having 10.8 gigs free on one partition, and 3.7 on the other.
Is there another button responsible for taking pictures? Or am I doing something more fundamentally wrong?
Sorry for the beginner question in this rather technical thread!
As the others have mentioned, it is possible to use one partition on a fat32 formatted card. There are some old "make card bootable" instructions floating around - well, don't use those instructions as they are outdated. It does not seem to work to get the large SD card to boot (hexedit or other method doesn't seem to work)
Do the following to make a bootable card:
1) Copy the chdk files to the large fat32 SD card using your computer. unmount and remove. Leave the card unlocked
2) put the card into your camera and turn on using 'play' then use the firmware update option to get chdk going
3) in chdk menu, find the 'make card bootable' option and do it
4) now, you can turn off your camera and take the SD card out.
5) lock the card, and put it back into your camera
6) when you turn on your camera, with the power button, it should now automatically boot chdk.
