damion,

Ok I typed exactly what you typed and this is everything.

Code:
~ $ sudo gainroot
Root shell enabled


BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

/home/user # sfdisk -l /dev/mmcblk1

Disk /dev/mmcblk1: 486192 cylinders, 4 heads, 16 sectors/track

sfdisk: ERROR: sector 0 does not have an msdos signature
 /dev/mmcblk1: unrecognized partition table type
No partitions found
/home/user # file -s /dev'mmcblk1  
> file -s /dev'mmcblk1p1
/bin/sh: file: not found
/home/user # file -s /dev'mmcblk1p2
>

I have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to that. I just got my N900 last week...

How do I get it updated?
It's a harmless and meaningless (to you) kernel warning, it happens on desktop machines too. It was fixed in newer kernels but N900 still uses old 2.6.28 which was first released in 2008.

well i had to same problem but with a 8gb card and some other cell phone...

the thing was that the card format (Like it is basically FAT or FAT 16)

So for that try fromatting it but not on the phone or directly from the card reader by right clicking the drive icon and formatting it

Format it with Panasonic SD Formatter......

it might be available online for to download a very small but very effective software for formatting Memory cards...

I hope it solves the problem....

If you can't find the SD formatter email me...
darguzar@yahoo.com
I did what you said, I got the program from http://panasonic.jp/support/global/c...oad/index.html and I hope that's the right one.

After I formatted it using the program while the SD card was inserted in the N900 via PC though. I restarted my phone and made a copy of my videos into the SD card. It was working... THEN I would repeatedly play the videos off the SD card to make sure it would keep playing. That's when it started saying NO FILE FOUND.

So I'm back to the beginning with this issue...

I'm getting so tired of this!

I guess I installed file from somewhere, however as we now see, you don't have any partitions. Try partitioning it in to a single partition and format that as fat32.

I have no idea on how to do that. Like I said I'm new to all this stuff. Please explain...

Like I said before the card is fine because it works on every other device I have with no issues. This is how I know it's the phone, I put a 4GB card in the phone and I got the same problems.That 4GB is in use with another phone with no problems. The phone is perfect just this memory card issue that I'm having.

Try this, in a root terminal (this will format the card!). you should be able to cut/paste it right into a root terminal. (Be sure you're root first, via root or gainroot!)

Code:
sfdisk /dev/mmcblk1 <<EOF
,,c
EOF
sync
mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1
sfdisk -d /dev/mmcblk1
That should show you've created a new partition, and formatted it to vfat.
