I would *guess* that your are writing it to a partition on the flash card. the 'pickle.img' is intended to be an image of the WHOLE flash card. Would that not be in your case /dev/sdd *not* /dev/sdd1?? When we make them, we always use /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc, etc... And when you have it working, you DEFINITELY can mount either or both of the partitions created on the card with RHEL. JIM WB6NIL

I purchased some Sandisk 4Gb Micro-SD cards and once again wrote the pickle.img file to it, but no computer recognizes the disk nor will the BeagleBoard-xM boot.
Still looking for ideas?

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?
