I have that warning statement all along with 4G,8G and 16G partition both N800 and N810. I just ignore it and reboot and continue, it has been doing fine, so far. I do not have that warning statement for my 1 and 2 G clone. I have beg and asked anyone has that error statement since 1/08. I finally see it here today.

"Anyone out there have Dual boot working on a PQI 8GB card?

Thanks
NATE"

No, I have the same problem with a PQI 4-gig sdhc card. I used the Panasonic utiility with the settings you mentioned, but didn't notice an error message. It just won't boot for me.

A lot of people I helped and PM all have the same problem, the tablet cannot/failed on initial trial in partition the card. Including PB's clone.deb (install-tools), it also failed partition. PB would advise to repeat and repeat unit it works. It always works after panasonic LLF. And by doing it manually, I can see the hurdle is a failed partition.

Maybe Fanoush or any guru can explain WHY it is so unreliable/difficult for the tablet to do partition. And of course, there is the second question, WHY repeat the process several times, sometimes 2 sometimes 6, it will then get thru the partition process. I think partition is the root of the problem to ALL these different flavors of MMC boot problem.
