I Mounted A 2 Gig Sd Card!

[pelrun]

If I recall correctly the pdaXrom module is just the official sharp module from the 3200, which luckily works just fine on the 3100 and 1000

SharpROM/pdaXrom beta3/pdaXii13 are all on 2.4.20 kernels for those models, so the module is compatible.

IIRC at some point sashz had ported a driver from somewhere  module to the 2.4 kernel, and had upgraded the 2.4.18 kernel to 2.4.20 for the 760 and co (circa beta 3)

So there was another  driver....and unfortunately quite buggy, at least on 760 ..and not working so well for card >1G IIRC.

I'm way late in trying this out.  But I glanced through this thread and am I right in thinking that there is no 2gb+ driver for my c3100?  Too bad

Xamindar,

there is a file for use on the 3100 and 3000. I have attached it to this post.

To any 3200 users who, like me, use Cacko 1.23: you need to use this too!  


It is now possible to break the 1GB limit on the 5500, the cxxxs, and the cxxxxs! I don't know about the 5600.  

By the way, the attachment is a zip file containing the ipk. The gz is just the workaround we have to use because they still haven't fixed the attachment problems.

[pelrun]

Tux, the module in the ipk you posted is identical to the one meanie posted  But there are installer script differences, which I guess make meanie's better for pdaXrom and yours better for sharp/cacko.

I avoided the whole distro problem and just uploaded the bare modules...

Short report: The C760 driver loads and seems to work (finds my 2gb card). More extensive tests when I've filled the card with stuff.

[ogrefish]

Thank you.

2gig sandisk standard works great on the 760

1983360 kb out of 2gig with fat
1952499 kb using ext2 before running a full card including debian chrooted.

Thats so great.thanks again.

Hey Guys:

I guess the poodle is the only dog not in this luv' fest! Right??

If the 5600 needs a different module to the 5500, send the original 5600 module my way and I'll see what I can do.

I am using SL-6000L, but I cannot make the file which under /lib/modules(&modules.com)/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/block/sharp_mmcsd_m.o to be replaced via Tree!Explorer QT by copy & Paste.  It is always showing that "Cannot write '/lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/********/sharp_mmcsd_m.o'. You do not have the permission or the file may be in use", so that I could not replace it.  Could you please tell me how to change this file  to the fixed one??  Many Thanks!

Probably you should be root to have rights to change such this file.

Thanks for this info. I had changed the Tree!Explorer to root when I revised this file, and it didn't work.  Anything I missed?  Please help me to use the 2GB SD Card on my 6000L.  Thanks in advance!

You might have to do it at the console.  Do you have the konsole program installed?
Just use "su" to become root and copy it.  Make sure you make a backup of the original file first in case the new one doesn't work.  "cp original_file original_file.bak"

If you are not comfortable using the konsole just ask here and we can help you out.

Thaks for your kindly answers, I am so happy that all you would like to help me to mount the 2 GB SD card.

Do you mean "Terminal"? Yes, I had installed it, and I had installed the konsole, too.  But I don't know how to use them correctly   .

I found that there are "Two" sharp_mmcsd_m.o files that under two different directories listed below:
/lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/block/sharp_mmcsd_m.o, <--- this one (sharp_mmcsd_m.o) looks like linked to the other one listed below.

/lib/modules.rom/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/block/sharp_mmcsd_m.o

Please tell me which one should be replaced??

I have tried to backup the two original files (sharp_mmcsd_m.o) via Terminal, but failed due to I am not comfortable using the Terminal. I use the description below tried to enter the /lib/xxxxxxxxxx/block/ directory first:
su
cd /lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/block/

when I pressed enter at that time, I got "No such file or directory" message, and I have no idea what to do then.

Please help me to mount the 2 GB SD card, thanks again.

The /lib/modules.rom/ directory is not writeable, you have to use /lib/modules/.

After the cd, use Tab to complete the directory name (once if there is no other possible completion, twice to see all alternatives) to be sure you don't have a typo in there, then it should work.


By the way, the module for the C760 works flawlessly. Thanks again to pelrun for making it, 1GB was getting a bit small.

Thanks Cyril92, Xamindar, and Cybersphinx for helping me, thanks again!!

Thanks for your reply, it works!!! I have backup the original files!!

However, I have further question:  How could I replace the original sharp_mmcsd_m.o to the fixed one under /lib/modules/2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix/kernel/drivers/block/  ??

I guess that I may replace the original file by the following methods, please tell me which one is correct:
 
1. Delete the original sharp_mmcsd_m.o under /lib/modules/, and use Tree!Explorer copy and paste the fixed one to the same directory, reboot??  

2. Using Terminal to replace the original file.  But I do not know how to do it, could you tell me the method??

3. Should I re-link the fixed file to the original sharp_mmcsd_m.o under /lib/modules.rom/??  Or I have to create a new link?? If I have to create the new link, how to create the new link??

Please help me again.  Thank you.
