I'm trying to create a bootable image on a Verbatim SD card (actually, microSD + adapter). I've done this dozens of times with PNY, SD cards, PNY microSD cards and Sandisk microSD cards, but I'm having no luck with a couple of Verbatim cards. All cards are 16GB.
I partition the disk, create the file system, label the partition "rootfs" and extract everything from a tar file. If I mount it on another system, file system looks fine. But when I try to boot on the PogoPlug, I receive one of the following errors (note: USB and IDE entries removed for brevity)
Verbatim Card #1
Verbatim Card #2
With a PNY microSD card, all works fine:
Has anybody else run into this with Verbatim cards?
Did I maybe just get a bad batch? The weird thing is
I can mount and read the file system fine on another
Pogoplug using a USB SD-card reader.
