attempt to access beyond end of device

[Charles Galpin]

Hi All, first time poster, happy to be part of this community

How I got here: I downloaded an olpc image, expanded it to 2G using  
gpartd per the wiki, wrote it to a USB stick, booted my XO off it,  
added dome dev tools and started building the kernel (slowly :) ).  
Despite having 400M free, I started getting these messages in the logs  
and finally the kernel compile (using rpmbuild) failed.

Any idea what has gone wrong?  Did I perhaps make the image larger  
than my USB stick? How can I tell if this is the case?

In short I just want to setup a dev env that I can do things like  
build the kernel, add modules, and do other development.  I have  
access to 2G USB sticks and a 4G sdhc card.

tia, and happy holidays!
