menormedia Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I've got an 8GB micro sd that I want to format. I formatted it to ext4 but when I insert it into the pineapple i just get the blue flashing light.. What am I doing wrong here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxtrot Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 the blue flashing light indicates bootup.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menormedia Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 I know that but it stays like this indefinitely.. It seems like it's stuck somewhere.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Boot the pineapple without it inserted, plug in the microSD after you can reach the web GUI, then format via web GUI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebkinne Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 The pineapple requires an SD card to boot in most cases. It may been to be formatted fat / ext beforehand. It will then boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menormedia Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 I formatted it as ext4 but ended up just formatting it and leaving it unallocated. I put it in the Pineapple and it booted properly, then I formatted it from the GUI. Issue resolved. Thanks everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
