GNUgremlins.. very common :-)

Re: Booting from MMC on N800 Now Available!!

Grrr... i don't get it. I inserted my SD card into my N800 and mounted ext2 on /opt and the rootfs to /floppy as explained here: http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowTo_EAS..._From_MMC_card

The copy progress went good, except for that.

After that I checked /opt. The folders are all there, but etc , sys , boot, initrd and lib are empty. So, why everything goes wrong on my device :(

e2fsck: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdd2



The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2

filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2

filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock

is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:

    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

OK, I am finished with that :mad: Now there still remains one question: What's faulty? My N800 or the SD Card? :confused:

Re: Booting from MMC on N800 Now Available!!

try
fsck -f /dev/mmcblk0p2 (or what ever partition you used)

Re: Booting from MMC on N800 Now Available!!

Already did that. But I can do that forever: 1)flush with dd 2)create partitions 3)format 4)copy rootfs with gnu-tar and then again the FS will be gone. I am going to send my 2gb Extrememory back to amazon. Can anyone recommend 4gb PNY sdhc(class 4) cards?

Re: Booting from MMC on N800 Now Available!!

newegg.com has 8gb sdhc for like 56$

Re: Booting from MMC on N800 Now Available!!

I am from Germany... I need *de sellers :)
Was thinking about that PNY 4gb SDHC card and 4gb Transcend 150X (non sdhc). Don't know what to get.

Re: Booting from MMC on N800 Now Available!!

From the errors you posted it really looks like bad/incompatible card. There is no point in wasting time with it. Get a different card or wait, maybe this will get fixed in next firmware.

Try the card in other devices. Or simply return it if possible and get different one. Looks like n800 simply doesn't like it. In fact I have similar card myself. It it Transcend 4GB MMCplus card. I bought it in advance before getting n800. It was quite cheap but simply doesn't work in N800 and produce similar i/o errors. It does work in other devices - usb reader, Tapwave Zodiac, even in N770 with hacked kernel to accept full sized cards without closing doors, but so far it fails in N800. I hope it is software issue that can be fixed.

I'd go for the 150x one. There is no point in having 4GB SDHC card. 8GB yes because there is no choice, but 4GB not.

Re: Booting from MMC on N800 Now Available!!

Hmm, now I don't know if it's good to buy a Transcend 4gb SD 150X card, cause you had Problems with those MMCPlus Transcend cards. Ok, SD and MMC is not the same. Searching the forum, there are Transcend 4gb SD guys out there and those SD cards seem to work.
