Trying to install voyage-current onto an SD card to see if my device will boot from SD card. I followed the installation steps in the README using my SD card (recognized as /dev/sdd) instead of a true CF card. On the last step the installer throws this error...
---[SNIP]--- Configuration details: ---------------------- Distribution directory: /home/ubuntu/Downloads/voyage-current Disk/Flash Device: /dev/sdd Installation Partition: /dev/sdd1 Create Partition and FS: yes Bootstrap Partition: /dev/sdd1 Will be mounted on: /mnt/cf Target system profile: Generic PC Target console: standard Bootstrap installer: grub Bootstrap partition: /dev/sdd1 OK to continue (y/n)? y Ready to go .... Checking that no-one is using this disk right now ... OK Disk /dev/sdd: 1020 cylinders, 63 heads, 62 sectors/track Old situation: Units = cylinders of 1999872 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0 Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System /dev/sdd1 0+ 1019 1020- 1992029 83 Linux /dev/sdd2 0 - 0 0 0 Empty /dev/sdd3 0 - 0 0 0 Empty /dev/sdd4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty trailing junk after number sfdisk: bad input mount: special device /dev/sdd1 does not exist Fatal Error: Failed to mount /dev/sdd1 on /mnt/cf as an ext2 partition ---[SNIP]--- I had previously used fdisk to create a single linux partition on the SD card and formatted it with ext2. I verified that I can mount the SD card (mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/cf) and read/write files. Not sure why the installer is having trouble. Then I tried the format-cf.sh helper script and it throws this error... ---[SNIP]--- # ./usr/local/sbin/format-cf.sh /dev/sdd1 Press ENTER to continue to format flash memory on /dev/sdd1 Checking that no-one is using this disk right now ... BLKRRPART: Invalid argument OK Warning: start=62 - this looks like a partition rather than the entire disk. Using fdisk on it is probably meaningless. [Use the --force option if you really want this] ---[SNIP]--- Any clues? _______________________________________________ Voyage-linux mailing list [email protected] http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux
