Installing porteus to an SDHC card
Posted: 18 Oct 2013, 23:04
I want to put latest porteus xfce edition on an 8gb Sandisk SDHC card from Linux. I've copied the full contents of the iso over to the root of the card and ran the script from the boot directory:
... but I get error code 1 as shown by debug.txt:
Here is my partition scheme:
The partition is formatted with ext4. I've already tried starting from scratch and creating a new partition table with parted 'mktable' command. I'm actually running porteus now in ram, booted from another usb drive with fat32 that I used the windows installer on. So I also tried using the 'Porteus Installer' from the xfce menu to install to the ext4 SD, but it does not detect my SD or USB disk (only the internal drives). I'd appreciate any help.
