The problem is that it is impossible to create the EXT2 partition. I've tried on different cards... same trouble. Any idea? Thanks Karl Hello,

Some memory cards simply work, others do not. No idea why...even the developers were puzzled about that... So...if it works on your 512MB card, be happy :). Best regards Tam Hanna Hi Tinker,

I couldn't get linux to boot for love nor money, it would keep booting with the error that it could not do something with the filesystem. I finally gave it some thought and it turned out to be that I was trying to boot with my 1GB SD card which was causing the problem, as soon as I replaced this with a 512MB card the problems were solved and it is installing as I type this :) I might try copying it onto the 1GB card once it's installed if I can work out how to do that :-P Hi, thanks for the tutorial.
