Updated to 3.1, rooted following P3Droid's manual update process. Flashed the latest recovery image that skips media. Can't seem to see my SDcard at all. External shows nothing (directory exists but no contents). No SDCard2 either. ??

Do I have to wait for an updated kernel? Seems that most have retained the ability to see/modify their SDcard yet I cannot. ?? TIA.

Update: I can boot up recovery and can browse the SDCard but have no way to mount it.

If I try to mount USB storage through CWM nothing happens.
EDIT: USB mount now works. ?? I can now view contents and add/remove but only through CWM.

SDcard2 and external show nothing when Xoom is booted up and browsing through Windows.

In summary, I can't view the contents of the card unless I mount USB storage in CWM. No way to manipulate SDCard while xoom is booted up.

Any help would be appreciated.

The Xoom will only see the SD Card while in Honeycomb if you've flashed BRD's update.zip.

He customized it to mount it at /sdcard/external/

The recovery won't change anything inside the OS, that's why the recovery can see it and interact with it but the OS can't.

I updated to Tiamet 1.4.1, but when I did it said there was an error with my Wi-Fi. (it says "Wifi" then "Error" on the next line). Will this recovery fix that?

When I attempted to flash his update.zip I got stuck at the Dual Core logo. :-(
You need to wipe data (factory reset) AFTER flashing his rom or you get stuck.

Make sure you have the recovery in his thread when you do this though or else it will wipe the /sdcard (built in storage)

Recovery will not affect anything to do with the OS

Dang. How can I fix my WiFi issue then? Is it directly related to the kernel? If so, can I fix it by going back to an older one? I used to Kernel Manager to update.
