Strongly recommend to get it fix before it is a problem.

Just got a brand new N810, forget about this bug, did a sfdisk with diffculty the 1st time, and the intSD cannot be touched any more. Everytime I tried to sfdisk it again, it crashed, http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=29135, thread #18, got a RMA, almost returned back to the vendor.

No sweat

All you have to do is to remove the wrong partition. fsck, e2fsck, mke2fs, nothing work, tried for long time. Hook it up to a PC, Start>Settings>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer management>Disk Management>Delete partition

Yah, Microsoft Windoz come to rescue my Linux tablet (tried to start a flame, come on....)!

I deleted the ext2 partition, and made the whole partition a FAT32 1.87G partition all under PC and the tablet does not FUZZY any more!

You have been warmed, better fix the phantom memory segment, you never know when will you step into the trap!

Sure, you can SSH/Linux flasher/whatnots, the key is to delete the incomplete partition, apparantly windoz is the simplest for me.

Just don't use sfdisk, it is buggy and can fail like this. Unless somebody gets really annoyed and fixes it, fdisk is a much better alternative

You could also just clear the flash card completely (along with that bit of information which was triggering a bug in sfdisk) before trying it again:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0
sfdisk /dev/mmcblk0
