I am (almost) glad others seem to have similar issue now to peek further
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?6,9762,9762

it concerns "MK802 - Cannot boot anything but Android"

roberts:
I suppose an alternative would be to flash nand.
Have you explored LiveSuite ? Have you download your MK802's firmware in case you needed to re-flash via LiveSuite? If so, and are familiar with the procedure then might to possible to flash linux. I recall, some at Miniand were atempting such.

I hope that this is not a trend with other, newer, Allwinner devices. Locked down to only Android.

I have not had a chance to do it yet

thanks for thinking of me

I have one last test, I should have done this earlier but can't report the results to after work day

each time I have let android boot....every time in fact, it says usb storage is damaged and to reformat it
but does not give me an option in the android system settings according to my eyesight

I found this site mentioning the size limits of fat/vfat
http://www.genie9.com/support/kb/KnowledgeArticle.aspx?KBID=113+

and this link says android only supports fat32
http://www.envythisstuff.com/techtalk/mk802faq.html#microsdcard

and mentions firmware
a little bit below

as you can see the fat32 test will be easy but the firmware may bork my device

below in above link is the firmware instruction you click a button in a hole etc

2) if fat32 test fails.....I might just give this to my dad as his wife has some memory issues and I have already downloaded some free apps on android to see if they are suitable

eg
memory training games
sudoku

but will decide later

thanks for reading

ok before I start to test if android knows I have a working microsd slot lets format the microsd card to fat32 as per above post

Initially I got some codepage error but maro already had a work-a-round as per
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,11128.msg58340.html#msg58340

I also had some other errors saying missing files fixed in below command
so as I prefer gparted my new command is


--- Code: ---tce-load -i gparted dosfstools mtools glibc_gconv
sudo gparted

--- End code ---

microsd formatted as fat32 ending in cylinder boundary
with no files on storage card, boot up of android has no reports of damaged storage device for sandisk 8G microsd

aus9:
ok so I add in linux some media files ....mp3  wav  mp4 flv

repower the microsd card.....and it says damaged

I give up

I won't try the firmware as the firmware rev2 does not state any thing that might resolve issues with the microsd slot
it does mention shutdown but not as Official firmware
http://liliputing.com/2012/08/uberoid-custom-rom-for-the-mk802-android-4-0-without-any-bloat.html

does not matter as I give up

this becomes a xmas pressie for daddy
