Linux/Android working on Titan

[00CericaRuss]

doesn't seem to be ext2
sudo mount -t ext2 -o loop zImage tmp/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so


VFS: Can't find an ext2 filesystem on dev loop0.

Did you try ext3? I know the data.img is.

If you have console, did you try running fdisk or something? Try jffs2

To answer the earlier question, yes I've built a kernel... but honestly its a royal PITA because you don't really know what you need and what you don't... and I built this back when Android was not running on the Mogul when I was trying to slim down initrd. I got it to dump to console and left it at that.

Yes, I have the keyboard working, but it doesn't seem to act like any I've used. I've tried holding the keys, toggling alt/symbol (doesn't seem to do anything symbol related). It's limiting my usage of console. Otherwise I would think I could rewrite the mounting script. I did go and download the most recent versions of zImage and initrd. Maybe my updated versions do not work correctly. But if I load the old zImage then the keyboard doesn't display correctly.

I've tried opening zImage in every compression tool I know of in Linux/Windows. So far no go. And every way I've tried to mount it seems to fail too. Google hasn't provided any real info beyond that I can dd it.

off topic but I thought that linux was already booting on the 6700.

ahh.. haven't tried jffs... I don't have any mtd support in my kernel right now so it looks like i have to compile some modules.

I'm moving in the next couple weeks so I'm a bit busy w/packing and organizing stuff, but I'll try to make some progress on some of this

[00CericaRuss]

eh.. found a box at work that has it in the kernel... going to try to mount on there

Hmm, even after formatting my stock 512 trans flash at home I'm still getting an invalid partition error... Interesting. How is everyone else formatting there cards? I've used both windows gui and windows cli with sectors set to 512.
