Few days ago I decided to migrate from Ångström to Debian on my Sheevaplug. Fetched installer images, booted them and installed system to 4GB microSD card. All was fine.
System was running nicely until today…
MicroSD card started to generate timeouts, read/write errors and other not nice messages. End effect: not booting system. Now I started Ångström and plan to rescue as much as possible from card. Next attempt will be with rootfs on USB stick.

Hi Marcin, I would not expect it to fail that soon but Rootfs on SD without some tweaks should wear out the SD pretty quickly. Some users on the forum had the same issue after 3 weeks using Debian: http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=1074.
