Oh good grief!! The image on the CF is a DOS FAT filesystem that the bootloader reads to load the kernel and RAM image for the filesystem. I wouldn't be too terribly concerned about a RAM filesystem that thinks it needs to be fsck-ed. Jim

That's what it appears to me.
A ham this morning told me the problem maybe the person making the distro images is using a windows machine, not linux, and he is making the .img files for FAT when they *should* be ext2
I've been trying everything that I can find to do the filesystem check, but every embedded distro I've tried doesn't support checking DOS or FAT files systems.
it shouldn't matter what platform is used to burn an image.
There -might- be an issue in putting the image on a thumb-drive. I'm not sure what the native format of a thumb-drive is, but I'd venture that 99% of 'em are FAT32.
