    Booting from SD cloned diablo, can't read FAT in PC

    First I apologize if this isn't the right place to post this, but I don't think my problem is tablet specific, and it's not an alternative OS...

    Anyway, I flashed a clean diablo to my N800 and updated to 30-2. Then I used penguinbait's deb cloner to boot from my 4G internal SD. The only problem I have is that when I connect my N800 to my PC I get an error on the tablet "Unable to connect via USB. Memory card in use: Internal memory card". In my PC I can access the external SD, but not the FAT partition on my internal SD.

    I've used the other cloning method (also by penguinbait) that lets you choose the size of the partitions, with the same results.

    I've also tried "sudo umount /media/mmc2" with no programs open except x-term (standing outside of mmc2). It gives no errors, and I can't cd to /media/mmc2, but when I plug the USB I still get the same error.

    That means that every time I want to copy something from my PC to the N800 y have to shut it off, boot from flash, copy what I need, shut it off again and boot from SD. (my external SD is tiny, 128M that came with the tablet)

    Of all the people who have cloned their diablo to SD, am I the only one with this problem?

    No you're not the only one. I have this issue , but I haven't had time to look into it yet. I know there is a patch somewhere to sort out unmounting the fat partitions when the usb is connected, If i recall correct ther is a script file that has to be edited.

    Try this:

    Thanks that solved it, I swear I searched, but I didn't see that, I apologise.
    If anyone else has this problem, and there is the slightest possibility you'll plug your Nokia in a Linux computer also read http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=17689 post Nš5 to avoid filesystem corruption.
