Hello!
I know this probably is the 100th time someone has this problem, but - I am working on this for 4 days, first tried anything I could think of, then read all the solutions and threads I could find, and still cannot get rid of "reloading bootmi IOS".
The story went like this:
My Wii has BootMii installed as boot2 AND as IOS.
I actually have some WiiWare games that only run when booted into the emuNAND and don't when just loading the emuNAND from USBLoaderGX.
So I had uneek (using neek2o) running on an 2,5"-USB-harddrive for some years, but it never was working reliably. Nearly every time I booted into the emuNAND and played some hours, the emuNAND was corrupted the next time I wanted to play and didn't boot anymore, so I had to make a new emuNAND using modmii and of course everytime lost all my savegames and had to integrate all wiiware into the new emuNAND again (using showmiiwads).
I felt like the flimsy USB-plug and cable, attached to the relatively heavy hard disk where the culprit.
So I decided to switch to SD-Card and bought an 128GByte Samsung Evo Plus SD card.
Formatted mthe SD card as FAT32/32K.
Then updated my Wii using Syscheck HDE 2.4.0 and ModMii. reconfigured the sd card using ModMii. reinstalled the neek2o channel and successfully booted into the emuNAND - once.
But next I tried booting the emuNAND from the latest USBLoaderGX - and got stuck at "reloading bootmi from IOS" for the first time, and forever.
So I tried everything I could think of and also anything I found in threads for a solution:
-Completely reformatted and reloaded the SD card with apps (FAT32 with 32K clusters)
-Also tried some other SD cards (one 16GByte Sandisk and one 32GByte sandisk).
-Deleted all apps including their configuration multiple times
-reinstalled all WADs with syscheck and modmii multiple times
-reinstalled bootmi as IOS and even boot mi as boot 2
-removed di from sneek
-tried completely replacing the vanilla bootmii folder by the bootmiineek folder and also tried leaving the vanilla ppcboot.elf and bootmii.ini ini there
-tried booting from the neek2o forwarder and from UsbloaderGX
-left it running with this message through a whole night, because I remembered it could take some time
-tried uninstalling bootmii as IOS and just leaving bootmii as boot2 (which actually made a difference, but I just lead to the Wii rebooting and not loading the emuNAND.)
-And of course I didn'to do all these things just once, but countless times in any possible combination resulting from above ideas.
-What confuses me: Why does it say "Switching to "realnand" mode"? Shouldn't it rather say "Switching to "emunand" mode" when loading neek2o from real NAND?
And now I am completely out of ideas, and you are my last hope for ever making neek2o working again
Wht is wrong with my Wii?
I don't think it's the SD card, because it once worked - and because it's same with the other two cards.
Can you help me, please?
I will attach screenshots of my sd card file structure and here's the syscheck log:
Edit:
I have an additional info now:
I tried reattaching the old USB hard drive - and after some waiting time it booted.
So the issue is SD related. But it doesn't seem to be the choice of sd card itself, as it booted once..

I have an additional info now:
I tried reattaching the old USB hard drive - and after some waiting time it booted.
So the issue is SD related. But it doesn't seem to be the choice of sd card itself, as it booted once..
