On my OpenSUSE PC "nc" is not recognised, so I've used "netcat" instead.

nc 192.168.15.201 | dd of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=4K
It can take up to 30 minutes to write that large mmcblk0p1 image to mmc.
Here's the result:
Code:
[root@[192_168_15_244] sbin]# nc 192.168.15.201 | dd of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=4K

The approach in your original post (i.e. copying the image from the /us partition) seems to have worked, so I have no idea why the thing will not boot.

Anything else I can overwrite or perhaps delete so it gets re-built automatically?

I recall you mentioned that (the automatic re-building) in one of your posts in another thread.
