initfs_flash : permission denied
 
Hi, trying to flash my initfs so I can dual-boot and start the fun stuff...
I get :

/bin/sh: ./initfs_flash: Permission Denied

I'm running OS2006 .42 on a 770.
Already installed Becomeroot, running in root when I do this :confused:

do not run it from mmc card, extract it to internal flash

Well, did the research, found /home/user/MyDocs/.documents ...
however I still get the same message

~/MyDocs/.documents/initfs_flasher $ ./initfs_flash
-sh: ./initfs_flash: Permission denied

should I have this in another directory? or is there a step I missed?

initfs_flash : permission denied
 
ok, found out what the problem was, had to chmod and give myself execute permissions. I now get as far as trying to preparing the jffs2 image...I get these messages:

!!! unknown initfs version osso-n770.2006-48, cannot install bootmenu
Cannot find initfs.bootmenu.jffs2, something failed, nothing reflashed.

Am I supposed to do something with the files that come with the flasher if all I want is a simple dualboot?

I said 'extract it to internal flash', not 'copy broken copy from card' :-)

by which he means (just more explicitly), e.g.

Code:
becomeroot
cd /root
tar xzf <whereiver>/initfs_flasher.tgz
cd initfs_flasher

[pwd should report /root/initfs_flasher]

./initfs_flash
