I've had an 8Gb Class 6 SDHC (actually two) in my N800 since shortly
after I got it. They are FAT32 formatted. I have had zero trouble with
them. However, I finally disabled metalayer-crawler because it
completely takes over the system for several minutes on bootup. If
you've added lots of media files on your new card that may be your
problem, in other words there's not really anything wrong other than
bad programming and you probably can't do much about it. I'm using
YouAmp and mplayer instead of the worthless built-in media player
(which becomes unresponsive in a short time - it keeps playing but
trying to click any controls is an exercise in extreme frustration).
