Oren, I asked you to mount the SD card on a PC/Mac (and see RUNNIX volume and "os" directory) so we are sure the SD card is properly formatted and ready for the next step, since you were having trouble. After dd'ing the .img file to the SD card it creates a FAT16 partition that should easily mount on almost any personal computer, just like a camera SD card.
You never described what hardware you are trying to boot with the SD card. It must be an x86 board, not ARM, etc. Lonnie On Nov 1, 2011, at 11:50 PM, Oren Yehezkely wrote: > > Lonnie, > > Thanks for your reply. > > I used the dd command on a Linux (Ubuntu 11.10) machine. > The image is geni586 and the version is 0.7.10. > > I am not sure that I understand your question whether it is mountin gor not. > I did not try to mount I only tried to boot from the SD card. > > What would I need to do to try to mount it as you suggested? > > Thanks, > > Oren > > ------------------------------ > > Message: 3 > Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2011 22:45:09 -0500 > From: Lonnie Abelbeck <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] New install using SD card not working > To: AstLinux Users Mailing List <[email protected]> > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > Oren, > > After you created your SD card, does it mount on your PC/Mac ?
