As fas as I understand, it seems to be a problem with SDHC cards formatted using a Marantz PMD661 device. Linux cannot automount them and manually mounting will return an error about "invalid info signature". > Also, I do not understand how to "hack the FISINFO"; the report says: > > "Then I hacked the FSINFO back to the standard value using > hexeditor.

I'd say that using an hexadecimal editor it managed to modify the proprierties of the fat32 format but... from a linux box? And how, exactly? Dunno :-? I would contact the user to ask him what he did but I cannot see an e- mail address nor other contact details in Launchpad.
