Until today I used a Sandisk ExtremeIII SD card with 2.0 GB to run zubuntu via kexecboot kernel which worked like a chrm.
Today I formatted a 4GB Transcend card with ext3 and installed zubuntu on it. The result is somehow demotivating- themultiboot kernel starts, probes mmcblk0p1 and then returns with "no bootable device found". The boot flag is set on the partition. I tried several things to solve the issue- shrink the partition to 1 GB, copied the root filesystem from the 2GB card- same result. Interesting: Starting with the 2GB card until the multiboot display appears and then exchanging the SD cards works. So it is not the card itself, propably. Any clues or similar experience? Oliver |

I had a similar problem with a 2GB sd card while installing Zubuntu 1. I created a 1GB partition formatted as ext3 and it would not be recognized at boot time.
I re formatted the partition to ext2, and voila, it was back in the boot menu. Looks like we're stuck with ext2 here. |

I have a 4GB Transcend Card that has 4 partitions. 1st is Fat32, 2 are ext3, and last is swap. Both the ext3 partitions are viewed and bootable using both the Angstrom multiboot kernel and the Omegamoon one. So I don't think that the filesystem is the problem. |
