angstrom - mtdblock0 errors

Howdies,

I'm at about the same level as Robert at the moment.

I'm getting "Buffer I/O error on device mtdblock0, logical block 0"
errors, but after a couple of minutes the boot kept going. Is that
normal, or is my brand-new SD card toast?

Now I'm stuck on "Starting hardware abstraction layer hald"...

I think I'm gonna trying wiping the card and doing it again fresh.

Steve
