How do you think ?

to /dev/mmcblk1p3 partition of my 16gb SD card (i created it for this one - partition size is 6GB)
with command:

dd if=/home/user/MyDocs/installations/meego/mg.raw of=/dev/mmcblk1p3

sometimes the device reboots during the process unexpectedley, and when it doesn't i get a console message like this:
XXXXX records in
XXXXX records out

after this the partition is not accesible and recognized - i cannot mount to it and see it content so the process failed.

Anyone knows why this is happening?
No, you don't install it to a partition. Use parted to check the first partition, loopmount it, and copy it to the first partition of the SD Card. (cp -a /meego/* /sdcard).
mmcblk1p3 must have the boot partition if you use uBoot. If you have any problems with the partitioning, please go ***** loudly at the uBoot devs.
