We should just assume that up to this post none of the confirmed cards are known to work.
If you have a card, 'working' is defined by the ability to create 128Mb swapfile on it, and copy a file of at least 100Mb to it.
Could it be that some cards were reported as working because small amounts of data could be copied OK, but then beyond a certain point (1GB? 2GB?) these cards begin to fail? Testing with any transfer size below the total card capacity may leave room for error when announcing the card as "working".

Can be issue with USB mass storage implementation in N800 (remember they support only 2GB officially) or with specific format (FAT16/32, specific cluster size), try to reformat the card either in N800 or on PC. Or try the copy via ssh/scp.
Also check kernel log when the card is inserted via 'dmesg' in osso-xterm if 4G size is reported and also if there are any errors when the copy fails. It is very unlikely this is specific to card maker unless there are I/O errors reported in kernel log.

As you can see both the 4GB SDC are recognized as 3921920KiB.
As seen here:
[ 3.722229] mmcblk0: mmc0:b368 SDC 3921920KiB
[ 3.722534] mmcblk0: p1
[ 3.975585] mmcblk1: mmc1:b368 SDC 3921920KiB
[ 3.975952] mmcblk1: p1
I am not sure if it has something do with things, but here they are:
[ 3.725280] menelaus: Setting voltage 'VDCDC3' to 3300 mV (reg 0x07, val 0x39)
[ 3.816375] menelaus: Setting voltage 'VDCDC3' to 2800 mV (reg 0x07, val 0x29)
I will continue testing with larger files on the SD cards but strange enough I haven't had any of the symptoms again since I formatted and wrote over the empty space and data on both of the cards.
Too bad I did not do a dmesg before while there were still problems.
The one thing are the different voltages (3300mV over 2800mV)

The recognized size is correct. Does your transcend work now? Hmmm

Some additional information about high capacity cards in Linux...
http://intr.overt.org/blog/?p=42
Looks like it won't be long now until support enters the mainline kernel.

Time for me to do a lookup on compiing a Maemo 3.0 kernel.
Anyone that can point me in the right direction?

Just a quick note: I bought a Transcend 4GB card and it appears to work on my N800:
-size is reported as 4GB
-swap works
-no complains in dmesg, voltage reported is 2800 mV
-I copied over 1 GB of mp3 on it and can access the data
-size is reported as 4GB
-swap works
-no complains in dmesg, voltage reported is 2800 mV
-I copied over 1 GB of mp3 on it and can access the data

Please list your card's model number. Manufacturer name alone is useless.

I don`t think that Transcend sells more than one model of 4GB SD card (and one SDHC, which is reported to fail in the N800). The card also says "150x".
Curiously, since yesterday my 1GB RS-MMC is causing problems. Maybe there is some incompatibility when using different cards at the same time? It used to work, however, so more tests would be necessary.
