Greetings,

For 6xx we've experienced some issues with >= 1GB cards from kingston. 
Currently no idea why.

Either filip or me will get to this bug later as its important to fix. Would 
be interesting to try a newer kernel just to make sure it still exists 
(which it really should).

I will most likely have some new builds up with minor userland later today.

Best wishes
Kristoffer
