Oh, I see you don't have bootmenu installed so you boot everytime from flash. Well if one has problems and decides to reflash, there is possibility (with linux flasher) to reflash only rootfs keeping initfs with bootmenu intact. Now the easiest is to copy created initfs.bootmenu.jffs2 to PC and reflash just initfs via linux flasher. But I'd suggest reflashing rootfs or whole device. The glibc error does not seem like the system on device is OK.

Or if initfs on N800 is in fact writable and not full, you can do the same thing as the initfs flasher does when preparing the image. Extract proper bootmenu data for initfs (to initfs directly)
# tar zxvf initfs.oss.RX-34.2006.51.tgz -C /mnt/initfs
then copy over the bootmenu.sh
# cp bootmenu.sh /mnt/initfs/
and bootmenu is installed :-) This is not possible on n770.

No, mount command is what fails and it is provided by busybox package included in OS image. Unless you upgraded it from bora repository by mistake of course (when installing other packages).

/opt # ls -l /bin/mount
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 64396 May 26 2006 /bin/mount
/opt # ls -l bin/mount
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Dec 20 06:23 bin/mount -> busybox
/opt #


Well flash is busybox, mmc is not? Has anyone else been been able to do this? With the mount failing on mmc, with no error, maybe it did just copy them direct????

Hmm, can you try to add -t jffs2 to the failing mount if it makes a difference? Looks like you really installed different mount which works. The crash can be some busybox bug/feature after all. On n770 it works fine, though. Please try
mount -t jffs2 -o remount,ro /dev/mtdblock3 /mnt/initfs

*** This was updated

Check this out its failing to remount, but exiting 0, so it must have been copying them directly to the initfs with the replaced mount command? This was run from mmc, I will boot to flash and post the results below

Should it have unmounted /mnt/initfs from /dev/mtdblock4 ??

SAME ERROR (134 exit code ???), I guess I am the only guinea pig, have no other N800 users tried this yet? HELLO? If so are you getting the same error or is it just me, I dont think it is but who knows!! Its working great, I just want to help Fanoush get the package correct.

What is the deal with the mount anyway? I just reflashed and here is what I did to install the bootmenu.

REFLASHED

installed becomeroot

installed xterm

installed ssh (just to get me a real keyboard)

copied your linuxrc to /mnt/initfs

copied evkey to /mnt/initfs/usr/bin

It failed out of space

I use your to_remove.lst
cd /mnt/initfs
cat /media/mmc1/bootmenu/to_remove.lst | xargs rm -rf

Again, copied evkey to /mnt/initfs/usr/bin

copied bootmenu.sh and bootmenu.conf /mnt/initfs

REBOOT

Had my menu, it worked great, I would still like somebody to confirm the glibc error with that mount, I want to confirm its not a hardware issue?

This is OK, it worked. 'df' (and 'mount' too) print just bogus value in first column. It substitues current root filesestem for all entries. Due to the way system boots first root is /dev/mtdblock3 and in linuxrc root is changed via pivot_root command to real root (mtdblock4 or mmc partition). Mount and df cannot cope with this change.
Use cat /proc/mounts to see better picture.

This is strange and maybe it actually worked despite the error, can you post 'cat /proc/mounts | grep initfs'? If there is (ro) in last column it worked.

No, it is not possible. That's why remount option is used.

Explained few posts above (including similar steps). In N770 initfs is completely full so the only way to modify it is by reflashing (removing files don't work). With N800 it looks like there is some free space so removing files work. Then it is possible just to copy files to it without reflashing anything. That's nice. With this mount bug it looks like the best way to go on N800.

So it looks like the mount problem is not just me. You should have enough info now, will there be a updated package to follow???


Sorry about the first test , I probably should have used a fresh flash to start... but at least I found it eventually ;-)

Well, actually no but never mind :-)
Yes, looks like there may be easy workaround that works (at least on N770), we can use mount command which is inside /mnt/initfs instead of the one in rootfs. Can you run this for me (as root)?
should print 'rw' in 4th column, and then please run on single line
and again the grep line above, now it should print 'ro', does it work when booted from flash? No error?

And if it works, could you redownload the flasher (already contains this change) and check if keys work fine in menu (i.e. event2 is used properly) with my version of bootmenu.sh? Thanks a lot.
