Thanks for your help, all

Use this procesure

Do

Code:

#unmount /opt
#unmount /floppy
#unmount /media/mmc1
#unmount /media/mmc2

Then follow http://maemo.org/community/wiki/HowT..._your_MMC_card
(With partition values as shown in above post).

Skip

Code:

Skip this, as you already have this.
# apt-get install e2fsprogs

Code:

# umount /media/mmc1
# umount /media/mmc2 (for N800 only!)
# sfdisk /dev/mmcblk0
/dev/mmcblk0p1:1,52500,b
/dev/mmcblk0p2:52501,,
/dev/mmcblk0p3:
/dev/mmcblk0p4:

Skip this

Code:

# mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk0p1

Use this (This will make FAT 32, with cluster size of 1 KB). If you want bigger cluster size then use -s 4 for 2 KB, -s 8 for 4 KB, or -s 16 for 8 KB, or -s 32 for 16 KB. I like small as I have many small file. It becomes slightly slow, but I need to have small cluster size. You can use -s 4 for 2 KB or -s 8 for 4 KB. But many small files < 4 KB will waste lost of space).
Do

Code:

# mkdosfs -s 2 -F 32 /dev/mmcblk0p1
# shutdown -r now

Do this

Code:

# mke2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2
# shutdown -r now

Do These

Code:

# insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/current/ext2.ko
# mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /media/mmc2

Then follow http://maemo.org/community/wiki/howt...from_mmc_card/
Skip these

Code:

# cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/
# tar zxvf initfs_flasher.tgz
# cd initfs_flasher/
# ./initfs_flash

Skip these

Code:

# mkdir /opt/
# mkdir /floppy/

Skip

Code:

# apt-get -d install tar
# cd /var/cache/apt/archives/
# mkdir /tar-temp/
# dpkg -x tar*.deb /tar-temp/

But execute rest of the commands. DO These

Code:

(for N770 skip this)
# insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/2.6.18-omap1/mbcache.ko

Code:

# insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/current/ext2.ko
# mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /opt
# mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock4 /floppy

Do: Now Tools->Control Panel->Memory->Virtual Memory. Select 64 MB.

Do

Code:

# /tar-temp/bin/tar cf - -C /floppy . | /tar-temp/bin/tar xvf - -C /opt

Code:

# umount /opt
# umount /floppy
# chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:mmc2
# shutdown -r now
