Hi
I can rebuilt by plu to intenal NAND boot every time, but when trying to use the sheeva installer to build on an SD card I get the following issue. It seems that the partions are not being created correctly.
Tried 2 different brands of SD card

**** PRESS ENTER TO STOP THE COUNT DOWN
**** Will flash tarball from USB disk to SD card /dev/mmcblkp0
**** This will wipe out EVERYTHING on the attached SD card
**** Will wait 10 seconds before the flash.

I see that error all of the time. Try running the installer a second time and it should proceed correctly. Evidently there is something about the partitioning command that doesn't (appear to) complete normally.
