Questions about CM10

[Sectorseven]

Hello, first of all thank you guys for all the work you're doing on the Nook.

I just had a couple questions about CM10:

There seems to be a few problems with it booting from certain SD cards. Is this just a software problem that needs to be fixed or is it a physical limitation of certain SD cards?

Also, is CM10 on the ROM a possibility that just hasn't been looked into yet or is there another reason for it?

Hello, first of all thank you guys for all the work you're doing on the Nook.

It is a problem with certain cheaper SD cards and with Sandisk Class 10 cards. It is intermittent, and not well defined. But there are two threads with card recommendations. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2057611 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064837

Because of the signed and locked bootloader, it is unlikely there will be a native ROM on the Nook for awhile. The brick potential goes way up then too.

There are various theories as to what the problem with some SD cards is; VeryGreen posted something about looking into what the B&N changes had been done on their reaeased stock source code change-sets; some people have been trying to do 4K alignment of the partitions, but while initial reports were promising, it may just be a placebo..

Success or failure seems to be very dependent on specific cards; The same model of "SanDisk Ultra 64GB microSDXC Class 10 Memory Card" I'm using without many problems on my HD+ seems to be causing people issues on those threads..
