Try using fdisk or cfdisk to remove all partitions. Then create 1 big fat32 partition.
then format it with mkfs.vfat
then try running pbeasy, see if that helps?

UPDATE - It is finished.
I now have a huge amount of space in which to install programs. Nate is formatted (he's had a lobotomy), partitioned, and cloned, and I'm putting my backups back on as I type.
Honestly, it had turned into an ordeal and I was ready to chuck it and just make-do with the 256MB alloted from the factory. Then, one last try (after MANY), and it all fell into place and worked. I was startled, frankly, but am totally pleased now even though I'm not sure what was wrong for so long and what is now right...just kept doing the same things as far as I know, and it finally worked!
THANK YOU so much for your help GeraldKo, Un27Pee, Geneven, and KristianW, if any of you are ever in my town I'll buy you dinner

I have a couple of questions on cloning on my N810 with a 16GB external card.
Partitioning best practices
Do these numbers make sense?
Thanks,
--vr
Partitioning best practices
- I generally run Linux on everything that I hook the NIT up to. All of my home systems run Debian. do I really need to create FAT32 partitions?
- Since the internal RAM is 256 MB, is 512MB sufficient? Or should I take half of the internal card?
- This is what I was planning for the cards:
- /dev/mmcblk0p1 - 512MB - Clone of internal flash
- /dev/mmcblk0p2 - 1GB - Reserved for playing with kde or other OSes
- /dev/mmcblk0p2 - 512MB - Experimenting with other OSes
- /dev/mmcblk1p1 - 256MB - Swap
- /dev/mmcblk1p2 - remainder - data storage
Do these numbers make sense?

I have Diablo 43-7 on flash, Chinook on internal card (cloned before upgrade to Diablo), and cloned Diablo on external card. However, I only get the option to either boot to flash or to external card. I used pb to set everything up. What do I need to do to get options to boot to flash (Diablo), or internal (Chinook), or external (Diablo?

All times are GMT. The time now is 13:03.
BUT, when I run PBEASY and repartition the drive, and clone, is where I have the issue.
When I chose clone, it tells me it formatted the filesystems then gives me two "OK"s
That's it..
It does NOT appear to be cloning. Any ideas?
