Hi All,

I thought I would try running D-Star on a raspberry pi2. So i got G4KLX_DVAP_DC1_12.zip unpacked and un-img'd onto a Micro Sd card.

The boot sequence takes off and runs for 10 seconds, lots of stuff scrolling up the screen. Then stops. The last 2 lines are:

Panic VFS: unable to mount root FS on unknown - block (179,2)
entering kbd current 0x139890000 pid1 on processor 3 due to keyboard entry [3] KBD

Anyone got a idea

Opened the IMG file and dragged the contents to it after the format. Let me guess, I need to do it at the terminal level? Bob

SDFormatter is used to do low-level formatting of the media. You can't just drag and drop an image file onto the media and have it boot--you have to use a program to take the .img file and rebuild a bootable disk image from the file on the SD card. I can't offer much help with a MAC, but there is a thread with some tips from others here:
