5dmk3 + ML on eyefi 8gb sd - 50% boot failure requiring battery pull
Created originally on Bitbucket by oohem (Justin Mijal)
This has been over the last two versions that I've tried, and after many repeated attempts to format/try again.
Essentially, I have a UDMA 7 compact flash, and I am installing ML on my eye-fi 8gb sd card.
Sometimes it boots up, no worries. Others, I turn the power on and nothing. When this happens, I must pull the SD card, pull the battery, start the camera, then while it's still on, open card door, and try putting SD back in. 50% of the time, this works, and the other 50% it never resumes, causing the battery pull maneuver again and again.
Feels uber sketchy and has me worried. :/
Also, if I leave the SD card in the camera, even with the camera off, it drains the batteries in a matter of hours (less than a day).
Frankly, I got plenty of error 80's with the eye-fi, so I am not ruling that out as the culprit, but I'd like to pursue all other avenues first.
If there's anything I can do on my end to help solve this which might prevent the issue for others, let me know. Happy to help, and she's insured. ;)
