I don't think it works fine with /dev/mmcblkN. I think the bootloader configuration file is installed in /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf when using /dev/mmcblkN or /dev/disk/, but the bootloader itself is actually never installed. > ice-9/boot-9.scm:1669:16: In procedure raise-exception: > ERROR: > 1. &i/o-filename: "/dev/disk/by-id/mmc-SDU64_0xbaf3002e" Thanks for testing. This is probably a regression in "write-file-on-device" that fails to open this kind of files. I'll try to reproduce it locally. Thanks, Mathieu
