Try removing both partitions from your SD card (fdisk then 'd' both partitions) and then running the installer again. When I ran the installer script for the first time (this was a while ago: a day or two after the installer script was published), with an SD card that was already partitioned with Debian (pre-install script version) on it, the partition step failed. I manually set up the partitions and ran the rest of the install steps individually. For later install attempts, I always deleted all the partitions from the SD card before running the installer.<br>
<br>You could also try looking closer at the output of the script, to see what errors occurred. (I ran the installer from an ssh session, so I could use my terminal window's scrollback buffer, copy and paste, etc.)<br>
<br>Also, you could try partitioning the card yourself (find the instructions in the wiki) and then continue on from there.<br><br><br clear="all">---<br>Andrew Bennett<br><a href="mailto:drewbenn@gmail.com">drewbenn@gmail.com</a><br>

No, I have not tried the 512mb card (it's at home and I'm at college).<br>
I'm not sure how to do what you're talking about arne, but you're<br>
suggesting that I can install a base system and put Debian on that? Can<br>
you point me in the correct direction?<br>
<br>
Also, my 8gb uSDHC card works:<br>
<br>
root@om-gta02:~# fdisk -l /dev/mmcblk0<br>
<br>
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 8168 MB, 8168931328 bytes<br>
