I'm using a DiskOnChip (288M) and a PC104 PPM-520 SBC by WinSystems. I have loaded the the CVS patches (downloaded within past 2 weeks) on a 2.4.17 kernel tree. Created Inodes compiled etc FINE. FDISK'ed the /dev/ntfla device, creating nftla1 looks like... ------------------------------------------------- Command (m for help): Disk /dev/nftla: 1 heads, 577728 sectors, 1 cylinders Units = cylinders of 577728 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/nftla1 1 1 288863+ 83 Linux Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings: phys=(768, 0, 0) logical=(0, 0, 577728) Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary: phys=(768, 0, 0) should be (768, 0, 577728) ------------------------------------------------ Despite above, mounting the partition appears to work and looking at the results of 'df -k' looks as expected. trying to touch a file yields... -------------------------------------------------- EXT2-fs error (device nftl(93,1)): ext2_check_page: bad extry in directory #2: rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=0, inode=0, rec_len=0, name_len=0 -------------------------------------------------- Any help where I've gone wrong(or how to fix) is appreciated. Also is JFFS or JFFS2 required or can/should I use ext2 type? In addition I'm new to the MTD hardware and it is my intention to boot an embedded computer from DOC. Any advice as to the best configuration, filesystem type, strategies (ie boot compressed image to RAM disk, partitions/no_partitions etc) is appreciated!!! Thankyou in advance -Scott K. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Sports - Coverage of the 2002 Olympic Games http://sports.yahoo.com
