Hi,

I use 2006 beta, I can't format my mmc from xterm inside Nokia 770
I have repeatedly same error message:

after sudo gainroot (modified version, I'm not in R&D mode)
/ # mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1
mkfs.vfat 2.8 (28 Feb 2001)
Illegal instruction
/ #

(I try also mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/mmcblk0p1, no luck)

I can format it on the PC, back to the Nokia work fine,
but still can't format it ...

Dunno if I should open a bug report, since it's the Beta version ...

I will wait for extrootfs package ported to 2.0
and try to see if creating partition directly from Nokia give better result
since I create them on PC.


Good day,
Laurent.

could be that you jusst need to be in rd mode anyway. try that and open a bug if prroblem persists. Now is really the best time to fix bugs.

The fact it's a beta shows that it's the perfect time to open a bug!

you can try 'mmc-format' as root.

I try:
(first line cause /dev/mmcblk0p1 is fine, 448Mo, type 06,
mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 ok from Avril 2005 OS !)

/ # umount /media/mmc1

I finally open BugReport 599 !
