starting from scratch today cause something corrupted my NAND and I didn't have a backup, but glad to here your making progress.
Thanks man. Yeah, I've corrupted my NAND many of times already but I'm getting pretty fast at setting it up again. Don't be lazy and make sure to back up the created folders from the Virgin Wii from the first time setup.
Pune just posted this in the SNEEK thread, valuable info.

for homebrew that can't open the SD card, there is an easy fix. just add
CODEsleep( 1 );
as the first line in the main() function of that program. these programs are trying to init the sd card right when they start up but in reality, the SD module of the IOS has not been loaded yet. so it fails. if you add the sleep() there, you give the IOS another second to start up before you try the SD card.
Why does the sd card work for some homebrew but not all of it? because that homebrew tries the sd card after the IOS has fully loaded. HBC checks that SD card like 30 times a second, so it has never been an issue there.
