Looking at the Makefile closer, the only differences I see are: 1. The kernel/ files are only copied for microSd, but not for dreamstick. 2. The boot/ mount in fstab is changed from sdc1 to sda1 for microSd, but not for dreamstick. 3. The /sbin/copy2dream is removed for microSd, but not for dreamstick. 4. The /etc/init.d/first-run is removed for dreamstick, but not for microSd. 1. I think is an actual bug (see other message) 2. I think is also a bug, but doesn't matter much, because you're loading the uImage and uInitrd via U-Boot, so it doesn't matter if /boot gets mounted or not. Would still be nice I think. 3. Makes total sense of course. 4. I think this is ultimately why a microSd-image-loaded-on-USB-stick doesn't work. Actually, after removing /etc/init.d/first-run, I WAS able to boot the image from your website from USB! Yay. > > Nick >
