I've installed Ubuntu Mint on my Raspberry Pi and setup everything the way I like. On my Mac, I've gone ahead and created an image via:
sudo dd if=/dev/rdisk4 bs=1m | gzip > ~/Downloads/MyImage.gz
I've also tried with bs=4m, which produces the same result. To restore, I used:
gzip -dc ~/Downloads/TimeClock.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/rdisk4 bs=1m
I also tried that with bs=4m, which produces the same result. On the restored SD, upon boot, I get the following error:
Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(179,2)
The cards I'm using are 16GB Samsung Evo SDHC's. I've tried the following resources to no avail:
- Renaming 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 to 6'
- Starting into recovery -- I can't hold down shift or press alt-f2. It doesn't do anything.
- Running the same process on a couple of USB adapters along with a built-in on a Macbook Air.
- Using Win32 Disk Imager
- Using without zipping, both with bs=1m and bs=4m
What's the deal?
