[KDE] dual boot problems

[MerkurAlex]

i some how managed to screw up my internal flash i can still boot from my mmc card but i need to get a few files off of the other flash how would i go about doing this?

Just boot up into the original flash - everything should still be there. When you first start up your NIT, you should see a screen allowing you to select which flash to boot into. I get that screen everytime - but it might be because I've got a bootmenu.conf file. If you don't get that screen then maybe looking into one of the extensive threads on "booting from mmc". There's a way to make it come up only when you press a button (Menu button maybe?)

You misinterpreted my post i can get to the boot menu but if i boot to internal flash it auto reboots cause i screwed something up during a deb install but now i need files from the internal flash what can i do?

as root user mount /dev/mtdblock4 somewhere and fix it or recover data

mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock4 /opt

now flash rootfs is inside /opt. you can also chroot to it
chroot /opt so you work inside the flash system without booting it and try to uninstall the package or otherwise fix the system, exit with 'exit'

after you are done, unmount it with
umount /opt
