Title: Installing Debian from microSD card
Post by: sven1999 on December 04, 2020, 08:58:38 am

I followed the wiki page https://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Linux_for_Cosmo#Cosmo_Linux_installation and the corresponding youtube video. Everything ok, except that writing the debian images fails with two "ERROR:" lines instead of two "OK" lines in the step described as "Once you select the boot partition, the custom OS will be installed on your Cosmo Communicator."

I am using an old 8GB microSD card from Kingston. Could this be the problem? Any recommended microSD cards that work well with this device?

I tried a new 32GB card from Samsung. With this card, the installation went fine.
