Re: Goooooood news, touch screen works !

Woho!!! woho!!! I got more output!!! :D

After the Freeing init memory: 80K i can see this (the above seems to be
the same as before):

open("/dev/mem"): No such file or directory
open("/dev/mem"): No such file or directory
Initial RAM Disk started ...
mount: Mounting /dev/mmc/blk0/disc on /mnt/rootfs failed: No such device
or address
Failed to mount root filesystem, dropping to a shell

Busybox v0.60.5 (2004.04.11-12:09+0000) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
#

If i use Fisherss' method to format the sd it makes an entire ext2
partition on the sd, but then when using fdisk it doesn't recognizes any
partition and when you hit w (for writting the data to the medium) it
tries to sync with the device and then it exits by itself, i should hit
q to exit from fdisk.

So i left the partition created with mke2fs /dev/sda and put all the
filesystem there. I got the same output as before, and looking at it I
noticed that it says that mmc0 doesn't have read-only access and makes
it rw (mmc0: host does not support reading read-only switch. assuming
write-enable.) and then i can see the line trying to mount mmc (mount:
Mounting /dev/mmc/blk0/disc on /mnt/rootfs failed: No such device or
address), perhaps in x50v we need to mount /dev/mmc0/blk0/disc?

If i have time this night i'll try to modify the initrd to mount that
device :)
