Don't feel bad. I have had a similar experience in Linux.
I boot an HP T5500/5700 series unit with DSL ( Damn Small Linux ) run
either fdisk or cfdisk and delete then create the partition, and unless
I create an ext2 partition, format it then go back and completely wipe
the flash, have had your problem
Starting with no partitions, then using dd to install the AstLinux img
file, it all works.
I had so many issues with Windows, CF adapters, and different flavors
from Win98 to XP that I found it so much easier to use DSL, and I am
not a real fan of Linux for much o what I do. Generally for Asterisk I
consider it a means to an end, a necessary evil

Apologies to all for this somewhat OT question. I have a CF card which
has had the net5501 image of 0.6.7 on it. I want to start again with
the geni586 image. I am having hell's own job wiping the card
completely, in Windows. No matter what I do to try to wipe it, when I
then use physdiskwrite to put the geni586 image on the CF card, all
looks well to begin with, but when I run http://pbx/admin/setup.php,
and it reboots, the admin account password is no longer the default,
but is what I set it to in the previous installation, and the hostname
reverts to what I set it to previously..
Evidently, my understanding of disks, partitions, volumes, etc, is
completely off-key. How, using Windows, do I wipe the whole card so
that I can start from scratch?
Thanks
Tom
