I formated the ext2 partition with Ubuntu live CD.

then I copied the file thru windows with the same drivers florin used
to. ( florin daca esti roman, da un semn de viata)

but I have the same error.

what are the steps to follow to make it wright....

I have to say in my defence that I'm noob in Linux.

I guess you cannot directly "copy the files thru windowns". That is
not a complete cloning of the rootfs. Since you are under Ubuntu live
CD, use tar instead by following steps below:

1. Plug in your SD card into your computer
2. Open Terminal, run command "df", you should see your media card
device name like "/dev/sdb1" which mounted as "/media/disk"
3. Unmount the SD card by running command:
sudo umount /media/disk
4. Format your SD card by running command:
sudo mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb1
5. Remount your SD card by running following two commands:
sudo mkdir /media/disk
sudo mount -t ext2 /dev/sdb1 /media/disk
6. Go to the directory where the rootfs.tar.gz was saved, and extract
all the files in rootfs.tar.gz into your SD card by running command:
sudo tar zxvf rootfs.tar.gz -C /media/disk
7. Your SD card is ready.

Loll, daca ai un waring de genul asta "EXT2-fs warning: mounting fs
with errors, runing e2fsck is
recommended", atunci nu ai formatat bine cardul.Si copiaza fisierele
pe card utilizand discul de linux.Nu incerca sa le copiezi ca mine din
windows ca nu o sa mearga.Rahaturile alea de drivere nu-ti monteaza
bine partitia de linux (sau nu o "demonteaza" corect, lasandu-ti bitul
de unclean shutdown) .Sorry pt. intarziere.....

Hi!

If you keep getting the error try these steps:

(reedhuang's steps)
1. Plug in your SD card into your computer
2. Open Terminal, run command "df", you should see your media card
device name like "/dev/sdb1" which mounted as "/media/disk"
3. Unmount the SD card by running command:
sudo umount /media/disk
4. Format your SD card by running command:
sudo mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb1
5. Remount your SD card by running following two commands:
sudo mkdir /media/disk
sudo mount -t ext2 /dev/sdb1 /media/disk
6. Go to the directory where the rootfs.tar.gz was saved, and extract
all the files in rootfs.tar.gz into your SD card by running command:
sudo tar zxvf rootfs.tar.gz -C /media/disk
7. Your SD card is ready.

(extra steps)
8. Unmount the SD card by running command (wait a bit if it hangs):
sudo umount /media/disk
9. Do a filesystem check to ensure everything is ok:
sudo e2fsck /dev/sdb1

Thank you reed for your complilation!!
