Apparantly, the tablet is having 'difficulties' in partioning SD card if it is NOT a 'virgin' card, ie., with exisiting Linux partition in particular. That explains why using PB's clone.deb, sometimes one has to do 2X, 3X, or many times and it may then get thru. I have the same experience when re-partition a SD card, even as low as 2G. I did it 4X under xterm/root/sfdisk, exisiting partition stayed. I finally took it to a PC and wipe out all the partitions and format into a Fat16, Panasonic or HP SD tools will do just fine, I then did the partition in the tablet. It went thru just like the way it supposed to do, right on the 1st time. I would not have the knowledge or energy to dig out more why the tablet is having 'difficulty' in partition with existing Linux partition, it is a job for the big guys, like qwerty/benson/PB/fanoush or whoever linux guru you are.

So my observation is, for 'virgin' SD cards, go thru PB's clone will just be fine. For a redo card, wipe out the linux partitions 1st then PB's clone.deb would be more successful then redo and redo.

BTW, I have put a link into wiki already, save GA a gentle 'reminder'
