Hi guys,

I feel a bit lame can any1 help me to fdisk and format my new CF card for rom for use? Basically if I try to do fdisk /dev/hda it reports unable to open ... So what device is the CF card sits under? Is there a way to tell?

I am using OZ 3.2 if thatr helps?

Take Care,

jamie

It should be 'fdisk /dev/hda'

Not sure why this doesn't work.

You have to unmount the card first.

umount /mnt/cf

cat /proc/partitions

This should show you any devices and partitions that linux recognises (it won't show you the MTD devices for the flash).

Cheers guys, hopefully I will get a chance the weekend to look at it to try the suggestions.

Thanks again,

confused, none of the suggestions helped and the cat /proc/partitions just produced major minor#blocks name, that is it!

OK, if you aren't seeing anything in /proc/partitions then you either have a screwed ROM, duff card or there's something wrong with the CF port.

Check to make sure there's no fluff/bent pins if you can see into the slot.
