Same fdisk errors even after running fsck.ext4 on 16GB or 32GB microSD cards

Please elaborate? What error is it? And is your card reader even capable
of handling SDHC cards?

Please ignore that nonsense - of course your card reader can handle SDHC
cards. Somehow I didn't see the attachment with the log.
However it would have been helpful if you described what you did instead
of attaching a log without comments. In that log I don't see an error
message from fdisk as I would expect from your subject, only this one
from the mount command:
| 8 / 9: Populating rootfs Partition

| mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd2,
| missing codepage or helper program, or other error
| In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
| dmesg | tail or so
I'm not sure what the script does here because I don't know the script.
But after the error message there is this hint:
| Unable to mount /dev/sdd2 at /tmp/tmp.GvquWTpaLd/disk to complete
| populating rootfs Partition
| Please retry running the script, sometimes rebooting your system

From the log I don't know if you tried this - well I don't think that
rebooting would be necessary but maybe it would be useful to replug the
card and then run the script again.

Same fdisk errors even after running fsck.ext4 on 16GB or 32GB microSD cards
To the other question, the new card reader is capable of handling
microSD cards. I originally built the same on the same cards. It booted
fine but problems only appeared after I added a number of packages. Some
way through I got a message that it couldn't write to the filesystem.
Since then I ran into the problem. Even deleting the partitions and
running the script again I hit the problem where the SD has the errors
seen in the post.
It's possible the reader has developed a problem, so I'll get a
different new one to try.
Regards
Sid.

OK, that clarifies the situation.

Yes, the reader might be faulty, especially if both cards have the same
error. OTOH, maybe there is a problem with Natty. Can you give some
instructions how I could try to reproduce the situation? I have a test
partition for cases like this on a harddisk and I could try it on a SD
card as well.
Another option might be to fill (one of) the cards with zeros (dd
if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX) and then retry the script. But make sure there
are no valuable data on the card because the zeros will of course erase
everything.

Actually that attachment came through but I just didn't recognize it
before I sent the first reply.
