[Q] Phone Storage and SD card won't mount (says "Unavailable") - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently rooted and installed Bionix V 1.2.1, and it works fine with the 2Gb SD card that came with the Vibrant. However, whenever I put either one of my 2 Transcend 8GB cards (both formatted to FAT32) into it, neither the internal storage nor the SD cards will mount. The phone still boots properly, but in settings they both show up as "Unavailable".
I have searched the boards and haven't found a fix for this particular issue. Could it be the brand of the SD cards that's causing the issue?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

ya, reinstalling didn't work for me either. I was really liking Bionix, but maybe I'll try another rom.
@torturedsoul: did you try booting without a microsd card? Mine only works when i boot with no card or with a Sandisk 2GB Class 2 microsd. Neither of my 2 Transcend 8gb Class 6 cards work, so I'm thinking the rom just might not like those cards.
@Mr Orange: If I was going to switch roms, should i just disable voodoo lagfix and then install a new rom from recovery or is there another step? (sorry for the noob question). Also, is mobile AP working for you in the einherjar rom?

Booting with or without sdcard makes no difference... some additional info can be found in my thread about this

Looking around, seems like quite a few people are having this problem

thanks Mr. Orange, i'm gonna check out that rom

So I tried that other rom, but it's still not mounting the 8gb cards. So now I'm thinking it's gotta have somthing to do with these SD cards.

False, it does work.
It appears there is more than one cause for this, and more than one solution as well. I removed my micro sd card and now my internal is working fine. I would like to figure out what do do about the external slot not working though...
