[App_rpt-users] Help with writing Pickle image to Micro-SD

[Kevin Walsh]

Hi,

I have been trying to create a bootable Micro-SD card with pickle.img
for a BeagleBoard-Xm, but not having any luck. I have tried writing
the image from WinXP (with dd), from Mac OSX and from RHEL6. It takes
about an hour to write the image no matter which platform - with the
same result. It doesn't work.My last attempts have been on RHEL6.
Below is the output from fdisk after writing the image. It shows both
partitions and that part 1 is marked as bootable. But the device will
not mount on RHEL, not will it boot the BeagleBoard.

Can anybody lend a clue as to where I'm going wrong?
