apt-get errors with jffs2.

Hi,

 I attempted an install of intimate on a 340Mb udrive using the new blkmtd
driver. I used the .tgz version of the installation, and most things are
working fine, but there is problem with apt-get, I keep getting messages
like:

mhipaq:~# apt-get install task-kde
Reading Package Lists... Error!
E: Couldn't make mmap of 6291457 bytes - mmap (22 Invalid argument)
W: Unable to munmap
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
mhipaq:~#

Any ideas?

The install is the same as that in the script.

Creating the jffs2 udrive was slightly odd:

   insmod blkmtd-arm.o device=/dev/hda1

correctly assigned the drive to /dev/mtdblock4, but

   einfo /dev/mtdblock4

produces no output. So I couldn't do the erase step, and I didn't have the
info to do mkfs.jff2. Instead just doing a:

   mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock4 /mnt/hda1

appeared to work. (Mounting after 5-10 minutes of work, reporting a
different size to that availabe with ext2).

What is mkfs.jffs2 deigned to do? Format a new drive or create a full
jffs2 filesystem from an existing directory structure?

Thanks

Matthew
