Connection via USB asks for the usual Mass Storage or PC Mode, but after choosing Mass Storage both my Linux & W7 computers do not show the N900 file system or the SD card as availabilities. Then, when the USB is disconnected, the "Disconnect charger to save power" message from charger-only connection comes up. Subsequent reconnections via USB to a Linux or W7 computer then only show the "Charging" message, & not the "Mass Storage/PC Mode" selection screen until a power down & re-start - then the sequence repeats.

These updates have been installed since last access via FileBox or USB:
2nd CSSU-testing update
Modrana update
Enhanced Busybox update

I think the CSSU-testing update would be most likely to cause this problem.
MMC inside N900 gets mounted by /usr/sbin/mmc-mount or something like this.

Don't be surprised that it starts fsck.vfat -a /dev/mmcblk0p1

However, if your memory is seriously wrong, it will not get repaired by this.

Try to run, as root:

umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
fsck.vfat -avl /dev/mmcblk0p1

To see which files are wrong.

If you want to repair it, run fsck to completition. You may need to keep charging N900, to prevent shutdown-during fsck.

Since for me shutdown-during-fsck was inevitable, I used switch -w to cure the filesystem.

After the filesystem gets repaired, reboot, and it should auto-mount. It may take several minutes, though, to assure itself that the filesystem is fine.

Best wishes.
