I have been trying this process for several days, with the same problem each time. I have a N770 with a Kingston 2GB MMCmobile card. I follow everything successfully until the cloning command (I am using GNU tar from apt-get): /tar-temp/bin/tar cf - -C /floppy . | /tar-temp/bin/tar xvf - -C /opt it starts to copy, and this continues for around 30 min. or so. Then, at some point the XTERM window closes on its own accord. Cannot say if at same spot each time, although that is a possibility. If at this point I continue on through the remaining directions, when I reboot, and select mmc2 for by boot location, it gives the error: error booting from mmc2, booting from flash instead My N770 then runs fine, but I am not running from MMC, but from flash, so defeats the point of this operation. Has anyone gone through a similar problem? I am assuming my copy ends up incomplete somehow because of the XTERM closing early (crash?), so boot from mmc2 fails. Help please!
