You need to use /dev/sdb and it will wipe the flash drive. If your content is important you will need to back it up. You can't do that. You need to use /dev/sdb and it will wipe the flash drive.

Good luck Things to check:
- Are you sure you did it to /dev/sdx and not /dev/sdx1?
- did you extract the .tar.bz2 with the tar j option?
- different usb stick
- Are you sure you did dd with the opion 'bs=4096' ?
- Can your board even boot a syslinux stick?
- Make sure you select the right key on boot.
- make sure md5sum of the USB image is : aca732ac08a583fbe483240f6fb473c3 moblin-brendan-201002191551.usbimg

That's all I can think of! Good luck

I could only get my USA/default build on Fedora 10, but it worked. Too bad the system isn't as nice as 2.1 ... sure, the wireless and graphics driver problems are fixed, but Chromium is no substitute for Firefox (which crashes a lot, yikes!) and the icons are less Toys-R-Us (is that good or bad?) not to mention the default resolution being too *tall* for my 1024x768 monitor (the monitor preference app also crashes, heh). I know, I'm a whiny user, but I'm no alpha tester guru, just a kid looking for a nice free HTPC GUI :) Fingers crossed for Moblin GUI support to really come to Debian/Gnome. Thanks for the info!
