[ARMedslack] Problems with making use of existing Slackware on ARM for Raspberry PI images

[Gregg Levine]

Hello!
At the moment, I have just the SDTV capable set here (Standard
Definition TV). I managed to get the other guy's image to work
properly, and even tweaked things so I can see what the device is
displaying properly. However when I try for example the complete image
from Stanley Garvey's site, I get the response I'd expect to see on a
regular system that of a kernel crash because it could not find a
mount point for the root file system.

I used the DD command to write things to the SDHC card using the form
of (Without quotes) "#dd if=<file-name> of=/dev/sde" and then waited a
reasonable amount of time. I also tried it again adding the "bs=1M"
and "bs=2M" to the command string.

Is there any special, ah. magic to restoring these images to an 8Gig
SDHC card? (Class 4 since that's the same type as the one that came
with the device.)

Incidentally I did not try the installer card image because it seems
to be more with the HDTV present, and mine is waiting for an
appropriate stand,
