Hi. Try using a USB reader for the SD card and connect it to your wmplayer running linux. Linux should detect the card via usb. This is how I got it working. /PO PO Bengtsson (sent from phone) ________________ Reply Header ________________ Subject: [Gumstix-users] create bootable sd card in vmware/windows Author: Ryan McLinko <mcl...@gm...> Date: 2009 December 29th 17:02 I was attempting to remove any x/display manager/etc packages (I'm only accessing my gumstix via ssh/ftp) from my gumstix system using opkg and rebooted resulting in (during boot): Starting GPE display manager: gpe-dm INIT: Id "S" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes INIT: Id "S" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes [and then it just hangs] Figuring out how to disable disable X without killing boot is now a question for another day as now I would just like to get my gumstix to boot again. In order to fix this, I assume that I need to make a bootable SD card (is there a better option?) That said, is there a way to create a bootable SD card in either Windows or in VMWare mounted linux on Windows? I cannot seem to find any Windows utilities that emulate Linux's fdisk, but VMWare seems unable to recognize the SDCard reader in my laptop. I don't have the space and already have too many partitions on my current laptop to install a linux dual-boot (also it seems stupid to have to install a dual-boot with the sole purpose being to create a bootable SD-card). Is there a better option? Thanks |
