[Fwd: Fedora 10 Snapshot 3]

[James Laska]

FYI XO Testers,

Snap#3 is out.  I've managed to write and boot this on my XO with no
major test blockers as of yet.

Thanks,
James

James -

I have been unable to write Snap3 on any SD card, despite a few  
tries.  I cannot avoid getting "out of space on device" errors (this  
is a 4GB SD card), such as:

It is OK to use this media.

And the SD card filesystem is left in a moderately hosed-up state.   
Advice/corrections would be much appreciated!  Thanks.

I had the same problem last night.  I also tried the latest livecd
script from git (which has the --compress option) but that didn't work
at all for me.  It kept erroring out claiming there was only ~1700mb
free on the card, which is completely wrong.  So it thought there wasn't
enough space for the image, and quit.

I spent several hours just trying to make a bootable SD card last night
and had no luck.  Is this the state we're currently in?  If people have
been successful can someone please doc the real steps somewhere?  The
wiki instructions don't seem to work.

Hmm, interesting.  I added the --compress option last night, and it has
been working fine for me.  Are you sure you don't have any hidden trash
directories on your card, or something?

hrmm, I wonder if something is else wrong with the setup?

I've just performed the instructions posted on the wiki and haven't had
any issues booting the freshly zapped SD.  Could your SD be bad, could
your XO be bad?

Sorry - I should have included the command line, which is:

bash Download/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --xo --overlay-size-mb 512 --swap- 
size-mb 384 Fedora-10-Snap3-i686-Live/F10-Snap3-i686-Live.iso /dev/sdb1

The livecd-iso-to-disk.sh script is the latest-and-greatest October 17  
version from Jeremy.

I had to reduce them to 320 and 256 in order to get them to fit.

[Ed McNierney]

Ignacio -

Thanks!  I tried 512 and 256 and when that didn't work I began to  
think I was doing something else wrong.  I'll give 320/256 a try.
