Guys, just a heads up for util-linux-ng 2.18, (I've been tweaking my script for Fedora 14/15 usage..) It looks like 'fdisk' can no longer create the new partition at sector 1, (thru forcing dos compatibly mode, i can get it down to sector 62, however that isn't bootable on my Bx/Cx beagles).. I know you use sfdisk, but you might run into the same issue since it's from the same project.. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~linaro-maintainers/linaro-image-tools/linaro-image-tools/annotate/head:/linaro-media-create#L474 I'm looking into using parted from the command line, and so far it seems to be working on maverick just have to confirm on fedora..

Anything that writes to SD cards at unaligned sectors is rather broken, better make sure that setup_sdcards always aligns the start of each partition to multiples of 4MB from the start of the medium, and that all boot loaders know how to deal with this!

Well, the good news, the bootloaders, x-load and u-boot do a better job at this on the omap family However, it's actually the bootrom, inside the omap3 that's the problem..
