Some info for you about my experience.
veho 8 gig card (£13 from ebuyer) mode 6 card. Cloned first time no problem. cloning os2008se 2.2007.50-02 (fairly new install)
Sandisk 2 gig card took 2 installs ( first install failed so I just ran it again) cloning os2007se 4.2007.38-2 (new virgin install)
I then reflashed with the latest diablo os and then ran the bootmenu-installer. this failed to see either of the above cards in either slot.
I have just reflashed this again and I will play around with the initfs_flasher progie.
I had done this dual booting the other day using the "second best method" and all seemed well until I tried to access the vfat partitions . and they were not mounted. They worked with
mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/mmc2
mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/mmc1
but they did not remount when I rebooted. ( I'm a bit of a noob here)
The wifi was refusing to work as well so I gave up with this clone . Unfortunately I had already reflashed the internal flash so I'm back to square 1 , doh...
Time to play with 3 OS's
great prog mate
edit : Doh stupid noob . I posted this on the wrong thread 8-)
I had to reflash to diablo and run the script again with another spare sd card to get the boot menu to work. the ./initfs_flash didn't seem to want to work correct with diablo complaining that there were some files missing ( sorry I forgot to note them down)
Also the wifi has stopped working when boot to os2007. it scans but can't see any networks (there are several)
