Linux on 7" mini netbook ARM-VT8500 ?

[abrasive]

Attempting to mount SD card:
Can't find SD card, giving up.

Also, make sure the FAT part is partition 1 on the SD card, and that extpart.tgz is copied (not extracted) into its root.

You can find the filesystem tarballs and instructions at: http://bur.st/~abrasive/wm8505_linux/

And you can find me in #easypc on Freenode IRC, if you need help... rather than filling up this thread.

Can you try VoIP Call (voice call with microphone) ???

Many thanks

Yes you can. It works on my Delstar DS700s. Chuck

except that i'm in the same trouble. i was pretty sure that it was a problem with my sd (no pb with android but my ubuntu pc doesn't want to mount it anymore). so... it's not filling that thread for nothing, it's filling it for the community, that is, in our case: me. thanks to let me know the issue...

Can you enter the console (just hit Enter) and grab the output of the following:

 ls /dev/mmcblk0* 
ls /mnt/mmcblk0*

If you find your partition (eg. as mmcblk0p1) you should be able to

 mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/sd 
mount /dev/mtdblock9 /mnt/mtd 
tar xzf /mnt/sd/extpart.tgz -C /mnt/mtd

which will complete your install.

ok for the mount test.
ok for the tar (except some badblocks but it gave me the prompt back)
i shut it down & ... it asks for login & password ... hummmmmm?...

So you boot without SD, and get to a login prompt?
The default root account has no password.

Can you also please tell me where you found the SD card partition in the end? Thanks!

dev/mmcblk0p1 --> /mnt/sd is that what you want to know? that's your code so i must have misunderstood something

that's my first debian and i'm feeling ... hummmm ... naked
