I'm pretty sure he didn't follow instructions but mixed them up.

There is a very detailed installation instruction coming with v2.3 "stable". Proceed as described there.

Remove battery, remove card. Insert battery and startup cam without card inserted. Change cam settings.

INFO button. Works the same way without ML ...

I cannot recommend the installation instructions you linked.
There is a detailed installation manual included in v2.3 "stable" instead.

To update your cards to Nightly Build after first install I recommend this (has some reduntant steps but works all the time)
- Use cardreader to format your card
- Use cam to format your card again
- Use EOScard/Macboot to make card bootable
- Wipe ML directory, all FIR files and autoexec.bin from card
- Copy extracted nightly build contents to card
- Insert card into cam and startup.

Free your mind. Forget about other installation routines for the moment.
Follow instructions above step by step.

More than a week without a developer jumping in to the rescue. Any more options available to hunt down this bug?
And still not convinced this bug doesn't occur on OS X if starting from scratch.

Try formatting your card using your PC. You will be able to use ExFAT for card <64 GByte.
Works for Canon DSLR.

Yes, because MLV default settings (press "Q") have Global Draw disabled.

On 600D you have to use ML v2.3 "stable" for first install. There is a very detailed guide for all 2.3 issues included.
You can't use nightly builds with Canon's firmware update option on this cam.
So you have to make card bootable using EOScard/MacBoot.

If cam's bootflag is set (prepared by v2.3 "stable"):
- Format card in cam
- Run EOScard/MacBoot with card in cardreader to make card bootable.
- Wipe ML directory, all FIR files and autoexec.bin from card's root directoy.
- Copy extracted nightly build contents to card
- Insert card into cam and startup.

3) Copy extracted nightly contents to card
3) Copy extracted alpha-a contents to card

That's what I did the first time but did it again anyway and I am still getting the message 'Memory card containing firmware is required to update'.

FIR file present in card's root directory?

Walter, your message would have been more helpful if it included actually how to reset the bootflag, i.e. truly "uninstall" ML....

Read first post in this thread.

Try to aviod files and directories containing blanks.
Copy files to (example!) C:\temp and retry.

Delete Autoexec.bin and ML directory from card. Extract files for 1.1.6 and copy contents to card. Startup cam.

1) Format card using cardreader.
2) Format card using cam
3) Copy extracted nightly contents to card
4) Run firmware update

Formatting the card will *not* uninstall ML from the cam. It will render card non-bootable and ML files gone but cam's bootflag will still be set. But you will not see ML starting up using this card, that's true.

A non-bootable card will not allow the cam to load and run ML.

Use Debug -> Benchmarks -> Card R/W benchmark (5 min) to determine write performance. Press Play button after starting benchmark run. After completion there will be a file BENCH0.PPM on your card. You may convert it to JPEG, upload it somewhere (picload.org or else) and link it here.
And you have to tell which settings you used. Resolution and frame rate.

There are exceptions to the rule. Formatting in camera with cards up to 32 GByte will give you FAT32 file system. If you want to preserve ExFAT on those cards do *not* format in cam or you have to reformat them using cardreader. And use EOScard/Macboot to make card bootable again (or install ML again). And restore ML settings.
Could be routine, too but one I'd rather try to avoid.

Link, please.

@a1ex: Looks like presets are not ordered alphanumerical but in order of time of creation.

Is it possible to change behauviour?

Delete ML directory from card, delete Autoexec.bin and FIR. Copy extracted nightly build contents to card. Startup cam. Report.
