Not really, just a read error on a block number.

(I use the same WiFi dongle on the Pi 2.) Wouldn't that show up for other Zeros and be all over the forums, unless it's caused by a fault on my particular Pi? BTW. It's difficult to use a Zero without WiFi, because the device has no Ethernet port. Never forgetting that I've had this working on the Zero occasionally (although I installed to the SD Card on the Pi). > (They're flawed, I think, in that the check of the card's contents might > use buffered blocks in memory rather than access the card.

If Peter's Zero runs PiCore OK tomorrow, I'll try it on my own Zero. PiCore runs very little by default, although it does load Midnight Commander and SSH by default. My installation also includes Python and RPI.GPIO but it boots into a shell and starts running the Lighting software (on the Pi 2) in about 15 s. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2016-02-02 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR
