Re: Re: Goooooood news, touch screen works !

The funny thing is that in linuxrc i've put this:

if ! mount -t ext2 /dev/mmc/blk0/disc /mnt/rootfs; then
if ! mount -t ext2 /dev/mmc/blk0/part1 /mnt/rootfs; then
if ! mount -t ext2 /dev/mmc/blk0/part2 /mnt/rootfs; then
        echo "Root not mounted blah blah"
        /bin/sh
fi
fi
fi

So any of these should be mounted, and still sometimes they're not
mounted. The only thing i've managed to get is a white screen with
vertical lines, nothing more.
Can be possible that the kernel i'm using has not the correct drivers?

Well, time for sleeping, it's 2:47am here :p
