[Droid Eris Android Development] tereg:
So, I decided to do a little "experiment" with the 2 PNY 2GB cards I have. I have a feeling that not much will come out of it because I'm using Amon_RA's recovery, but I'll give it a shot still.

I rooted my tester phone, and flashed Amon_RA's recovery on it. Then, I turned the phone off put the card into the phone, booted into fastboot -> hboot -> recovery

As soon as it got into Amon_RA's recovery, I did adb shell dmesg > ____.txt

So I did one for each card.

Here are the relevant sections for each card.

The good card:
