Re: Partitioning Problem

Maemo is kind of dumb, it was developed to be that way...

Try to check the file system

Code:

sudo gainroot

fsck -af /dev/mmcblk0p4

Re: Partitioning Problem

You need to create a mount point for the device, like /media/easy_debian.

Code:

mkdir /media/easy_debian

Open /etc/event.d/rcS-late with an editor,

Code:

nano /etc/event.d/rcS-late

find the line

Quote:

-f /usr/lib/genfstab.awk > $tmp_fstab

and add this below it

Code:

echo "/dev/mmcblk0p4 /media/easy_debian ext3 rw,noatime,errors=continue,commit=1,data=writeback 0 0" >> $tmp_fstab

After a reboot, please verify that it work.

Re: Partitioning Problem

But what I want is the image file of easy debian should be mounted to dedicated partition which is there on emmc I think:confused:

Re: Partitioning Problem

My experience with easy debian was years ago, so bear with me if the following is not up-to-date.

The EasyDebian is a file which will get unzipped and mounted itself as a loopback device, and an application is kind of changerooting into that mount point. There is no separate device necessary for that, until you unpack the file to the device and mount this device always to the location, where the script of easy debian looks for the loopback file. This should be done via fstab entry.

Re: Partitioning Problem

Now I have made directory named ed as a mount point and changed the code given to replace just "ed" and edited and rebooted.Now where should i copy the debian image file.Thank you.

Re: Partitioning Problem

Thank you.Infact I am trying out Estel's image which should be manually placed into the mount point.Qoles installer does not automatically recognise the newer image of Estel.I will try my luck with what you have taught to me till now.And I will track you down all over TMO as soon as my Thanks button is activated.Thanks again for your valuable time .

Re: Partitioning Problem

I am unsure if you want to just place the downloaded image file onto that partition or if you want to extract the image file folder by folder as if it is an installed system? Is this a workable way for easy debian at all? As i said, do not know much about it.

The difference: The script would look for /ed/debian*.img* , if you configure it in /home/user/.chroot
while the latter will have folders /bin, /etc, ... in /ed
