220 posts on Rebooting from MMC.

Not very reassuring !

Question 5 (or so) already said it all: Why should I reboot from MMC ?

Anybody know why my boot menu has disappeared and it boots directly from my SD card? It boots in 12 seconds. Also I have noticed that my battery icon has disappeared only to reappear when i plug in the charger. the icon does not indicate charging but does show "charging" when i tap the icon

and change one line 'umount $mp 2> /dev/null' in this loop
Code:
        for mp in $MPS; do
          umount $mp 2> /dev/null
          RC=$?
          if [ $RC != 0 ]; then
            echo "$0: could not unmount $mp"
            exit $RC
          fi
        done
to be
Code:
        for mp in $MPS; do
          if [ "$mp" != "/" ] ; then umount $mp 2> /dev/null ; fi
          RC=$?
          if [ $RC != 0 ]; then
            echo "$0: could not unmount $mp"
            exit $RC
          fi
        done
Which means skip unmounting root filesystem. If you don't write to same filesystem (i.e the active linux partition) over usb, it is safe. Most probably you just want to write to first FAT partition anyway.
how do i save the script back in place. I downloaded a 3rd party file manager just to find the file. I changed it but i am unable to replace it and the notes app (or regular file manager) refuses to let me replace the file.

Are you logged in as root? You probably can't do it as default user.

either my search techniques are awful, or it isn't yet completely described:
how does one create an exact backup of the entire filesystem to mmc card?

what I have is :
#mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock4 /opt
#./mkfs.jffs2 -r /opt -o /media/mmc2/rootfs.jffs2 -e 128 -l -n
/bin/sh: ./mkfs.jffs2: not found

I am running OS 2008 from an n800. any suggestions?

I believe I had a similar problem... make sure that the downloaded initfs_flasher.tgz file extracted properly when you untar'ed it, with no error messages. It may be incomplete and you may have to redownload it. Alternatively you might need a different version of the tar program (the GNU tar on Penguinbait's site).

iliaden, since I'm not sure what your goal is, I'm not positive this will answer your question, but it might.
