trying to figure out how `gparted` auto-detects the geometry and then modify my script to rsync the files rather than use `partimage` on the raid. Surprisingly, there's not as much of a speed gain as I had hoped using the fake raid to duplicate all of the cards simultaneously. AJ ONeal

How weird! Hardware? Kernel? Anyway, today my sandisk cards arrived and all 10 of them worked flawlessly. I ordered another 50 and hope to see the same results. AJ ONeal On Wed, Jun 29, 2011 at 11:48 AM, AJ ONeal wrote: > I have a few inter-related issues: > >- Why would one kern

2011-05-02 Thread AJ ONeal
Is there some sort of base kernel config that I can mixin to the omap2plus_defconfig that will be likely to give me a more successful boot with 2.6.39? Please explain to me the process for creating such a defconfig. Thanks, AJ ONeal ___ linaro-dev
