If I remove the fs-type or provide a wrong fs-type, I get:

mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk1p1 on /media/mnt/ failed: Invalid argument

Now, I guess I'll try with ext3... Strange that ext4 works for you. Or I need to install some other e2fsprogs package.
I did full system upgrade on my primary install and everything is running fine, so there should be no issue with updates. I also did full install from scratch following the guide to a new sd-card (partitioned with gparted via my desktop, mkfs.ext4 in Maemo) from latest rootfs and it boots without any issues. In addition to that, joshgillies from #maemo-alternatives reflashed his N900 to cssu-thumb and did the Alarm install successfully.

So, I'm really clueless what is wrong, are you sure your sd-card is not failing? I sincerely hope you get it up and running, and if you find the reason for these troubles please let us know.
