Sometimes the R4 card sometimes doesn't seat very well in the ds slot. Try jiggling it around a bit.

Is the card formatted as FAT32? Did you put the firmware on it?

Don't forget to format the sd card as FAT32. Or it will not work. You can get the firmware here. I used v1.18 and had no trouble.

It is quite possible that you sd card is not supported. But you probably have a clone r4 card. Here is a site that gives you links to all sorts of clone firmware. The only problem is that if you don't know which card you have, trial and error is the only way to go. But, you could get lucky and find the right kernel right away.
