I have a problem now, I connected via USB to my PC and got an error on the tablet "Unable to connect via USB. Memory card in use: Internal memory card". In my PC I can access the external SD, but not the FAT partition on my internal SD. What should I do?
ps: I had no applications open.

If your clone is working, may be it is easier to just re-make the bootmenu, step by step here, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=22771.

When I did it pre Diablo it worked and was easy.
Now, after a new install of Diablo and the SSU, plus some of the apps, the install does not give me a boot menu. It does repartition my internal and leave me with a 120mb partition.
Building the boot menu looks about as easy as rebuilding with the other pb tool and selecting my partitions etc. or reflashing entirely.

chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:mmc2
mmc2 is partition 2 on internal
mmc3 is partition 3 on internal
mmc12 is partition 2 on external
mmc13 is partition 3 on external
You can also set the default to flash
chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:flash
My install-tools does not do this part of the cloning process. Sometimes it works and sometime you need to run the cal-tool

After 5 attempts and no boot menu I gave up an went to reflash Diablo.
It would not reflash and gave me a USB cable error.
When I unplugged the USB cable the boot menu showed up and I've been able to reboot and get the boot menu.
I hope I've not lost the flash capability but I've wasted 4 hours on it so far.
Not easy anymore.
Now I need to order the 8Gb external card.

Is there some command to unmount the FAT? how to use it?
thanks

should I try unmounting the FAT partition manually? I think that is "umount /media/mmc2" (maybe as root?). But if that works, how do I mount it again after I finish? (without rebooting, that's what I'm trying to avoid).
Is no one else having this problem?
edit: Is "mount vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/mmc2" the command to mount it again?
