Question #59340 on Easy Peasy changed:

Status: Open => Answered
raifthewise proposed the following answer:
I've seen this happen in other circumstances when the SD card was formatted as
FAT filesystem (which most of them are ex-factory) and the initramfs didn't
contain a FAT driver. What worked for me was to reformat the card as ext2, then
install the installation stuff. (I hope that makes sense). After that , no
problem. Be aware though this was on different hardware.
USB sticks will be the same, they are normally formatted as FAT filesystem.
Anyway it's quick to try. To recap ;-
1) reformat the card you're going to use as ext2 (I used Gparted)
2) install your distribution onto it exactly as you did before.
3) give it a spin, if it works problem solved, if not I hope somebody else can
come up with some other suggestions.
In any case persevere, its worth it to get an interface that doesn't
look like a Fisher-Price toy during an acid flashback, and doesn't mount
things as /media/D: (Memo to Xandros team - this is GNU/Linux guys,
we're using it to get away from twenty-year old bad design decisions by
Mucu$oft)
