if you already went thru the trouble of formatting it, any chance you can test it on a PC?
the N900 is a close as one may come to a PC in a pocket, but it isn't exactly standard, neither...

what brand / model is the mSD?
is it a mSD or a mSDHC (mSDXC)?
capacity, speed class???

guess your buddy soldered the USB port & you were able to reflash it, huh?

it all started yesterday when i tried to softlink a gpsrecorder folder to the microsd. i got a operation not permitted error, so i thought softlinks cannot cross file systems. so i took out the microsd and partitioned it as ext2 and fat32. copied all my information to the card and popped it in the phone. no card showing up. so i did a few searches here and found

http://wiki.maemo.org/Ext2_on_microSD_card

honestly i dont remember the error codes. and today it seems the card now being recognized but says it is corrupted. i am tring to format as different file systems with gparted to see what will work.

nope, though i am giving him my old one today to see what he can do. i ended up buying a "new" phone of ebay for an alright price.

Fremantle only recognizes the vFAT partition as first partition
if you put the ext partition 1st, it won't mount it automatically anymore, indeed
need to

Code:

~ $ root
{bla bla}
Nokia-N900:~# mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /media/mmc1
Nokia-N900:~# mkdir /media/ext
Nokia-N900:~# mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/ext

you can of course put anything you want instead of /media/ext
personally i use

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /media/mmc1/src.ins

nota bene: i put the ext3 partition as p2, so Fremantle still mounts mmcblk1p1 automatically

it happened to me last night, problem after another. this cause was updating CSSU. The new update/fix is pushed to repo. follow the steps to solve if your case is similar. read the thread for more info

Everyone who has problem try to use new merlin version:
http://cdnm.at/~christian/maemo/ke-r...9-14_armel.deb

Next problem is that MAG's version in CSSU-T repo creating invalid symlink /etc/init.d/ke-recv. So before installing new version bad symlink must be deleted.

Code:

$ wget http://cdnm.at/~christian/maemo/ke-recv_3.19-14_armel.deb
$ rm -f /etc/init.d/ke-recv
$ dpkg -i ke-recv_3.19-14_armel.deb

so... funny story.
there was nothing wrong with the card. it just wont mount right away.
after leaving my phone charging for about 20 min, i came back to it, opened file browser and there it was...

but if i just pop the card in and run:
Nokia-N900:~# mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/mmc1
mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk1p1 on /media/mmc1 failed: No such file or directory

mmc1 exists, but /dev/mmcblk1 does not.

plug the phone into the wall charger and TADA! microsd mounts and /dev/mmcblk1 shows up.

It does not work for me I'm in the case of:
mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk1p1 on /media/mmc1 failed: No such file or directory

mmc1 exists, but /dev/mmcblk1 does not.
