Sounds like a corrupted file system:
Where /card as well as /dev/mmcblkxpx need to be specified with the appropriate device pointers.
More info on fsck here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fsck
Code:
sudo gainroot umount /card fsck -a /dev/mmcblkxpx mount /card

For the common setup (you should and would know, if you changed to a custom setup) it is /dev/mmcblk0p1 for both /card and /dev/mmcblkxpx.

I did the above commands but I still have the same problem. I did a restart but still the problem is still there. I do not wish to flash.

since you cannot install anything why don't you try fsck (Scandisk using windows) on your PC....
if you have already install backupmenu then use fsck on backup menu to fix your problem or use backupmenu option (usb storage) + with GParted Live CD to fixed your device...

Hi. I tried installing an app from faster app manager and it gave me this error
"E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem."
When I do that command this is the output
"dpkg: failed to open `/var/lib/dpkg/status' for writing status information: Read-only file system"
I can not install or uninstall anything. Can someone help me please?
And yes, it is a very common problem with our N900s which can simply be solved with:
Code:
root umount /home/user/MyDocs fsck -a /home/user/MyDocs reboot
