I tried to flash my 5500 to a Hybrid rom, but it can't mount the jffs2 file: it tried to mount "/dev/mtdblock5", but failed be cause "No device were found" (or some similar message); so I'm stuck on a shell. I investigated the matter and found no similar problems encountered. But trying to mount the CF card, I realized it could not do it (again, no device found--SD card won't work either). I also found out the "mount" command didn't work; I had to use mkfs.msdos. I can say "mount" and it will give results (the stuff that's mounted, I guess), but "mount /dev/something" won't work. Why? No /etc/fstab, it says. Reading further technical forums and documents, I found out that this file seems to be somewhat essential to the mounting of a cf card. If the cf card can't be mounted, then if the jffs2 file was the init.rd on the cf (I guess that should be the case), it would make sense that the jffs2 file could not work!
So, I am right? Should I write a new fstab file? If so, how do I do that? Thanks for getting me out of this fine mess! Louis Chartrand |

Okay... so what's wrong, then? What's missing? Why is there "no device"?
