When a once used SD card gets "refilled" using dd, it will still have the GPT backup at the "end" of the card, which may confuse the kernel. Try erasing the last sector of the card, e.g.: card=/dev/sdb size=`/usr/sbin/blockdev --getsize /dev/sda` dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda obs=1 seek=$((size - 1024)) count=1024 Kind regards, Stefan-- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
