Syu Overwrote 2gb SD Card???

[rob519]

Hello all,
This is my first post on the forum.
I am new to Arch and have been running Ubuntu on two computers for the last couple of years. I decided to load Arch on the BeagleBoard because it looks like a great way to learn the lower level workings of linux.

I performed a pacman Syu last night and tried to reboot the beagleboard. It did not reboot so I decided to read the SD card on my laptop. When I tried to do that the root fs would not mount ( the boot partition mounted fine ).

When I did a "dmesg | tail" the following was displayed:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'd')mesg | tail

Sounds like you tried to write more to the partition than space existed...
