Could you try to mount your booting partition by hand in shell after system boots like this and see what's really there or what error you get?
Good to know that the problem is not insurmountable ( I hope!) I will try this as soon as someone explains to me what I'm supposed to put in place of "<your filesystem modules>". I'm clueless as to what that refers to...

So this helped to get rid of the wimax error? Did you try to enter 'yes' also with latest initfs_flasher which has keyboard support for RX-48? I'd like to be sure which one helped with the wimax #2 error message - proper keyboard support or removing extra stuff. In theory both could do it (i.e. both are equally unlikely :-).
I'm not excited to re-do this all again (I assume that it would be pointless if I don't reflash the device?) but after all the hard work you have done how can I balk. I'll try to get to it in the next day or two.

Yes, and a BIG thanks for that!

The 'mmc' id triggers original nokia behaviour of searching for first bootable partition on first card so the result is a bit random. "--set-root-device ask" is a bit better if you really don't want to have default choice. It will boot from flash instead of random mmc partition.
Actually, I was scrambling and that is what I found in the readme file that looked like it would work. I missed the plan "ask" option and had not yet figured out that I should call MY partition mmc13. The read me said that the ask:mmc option would make the bootmenu scan for available partitions so I tried that! (and I'm happy to say it worked) - I'll fix it on the next round.

Thanks again
