I actually just needed to upgrade my linux kernel so that JFFS2 LZO compression was enabled. Once I switched to Edgy, it worked perfectly.

Making a custom root FS
I'm trying to create a custom flashable root fs, and the three documented approaches have not worked. I'm running out of ideas, and have emailed the list as a last resort. Here's what I've tried: 1. modify the developer rootfs. The last developer rootfs released was back at 3.1, and does not contain working wifi drivers for use on the N800 or N810. 2. create my own developer rootfs from scratchbox. The scripts for doing this were last updated back in maemo 2.x, and it's difficult to tell what the right way to go about this would be with the current sdk. 3. extract the rootfs from the retail image, mount it, and tar it. If I mount the JFFS2 using kernel memory emulating a MTD, I get error inserting mtdram - cannot allocate memory. If I mount the JFFS2 using block device emulating MTD, the tar fails with tons of read errors at byte 0. I've tried the above on multiple versions of Ubuntu and computers, and errors are the same every time. Can you offer any guidance? Hopeful thanks, Scott References: http://maemo.org/development/documentation/how-tos/2-x/howto_use_flasher_rootfs.html http://maemo.org/community/wiki/modifyingrootimage/ https://wiki.maemo.org/Modifying_the_root_image ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
