Hi,

you're right. This is a typo, i meant /dev/mmcblk0.

Anyway, i just booted the Slackware Installer again to verify this and now i can create the partitions. Seems to work now, although i have no idea why.

I also checked the 'arcNumber'/'mainlineLinux'/'machid' variables at this occasion. To boot the installer you only have to set the 'machid' variable and the 'mainlineLinux' variable. The 'arcNumber' variable is not required, at least not with the u-boot version i used.

mmcbklk0p is not a valid device.

root@guruslack:/dev# l mmc*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 0 Aug 13 04:00 mmcblk0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 1 Aug 13 04:00 mmcblk0p1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 2 Aug 13 04:00 mmcblk0p2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 3 Aug 13 04:00 mmcblk0p3
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 4 Aug 13 04:00 mmcblk0p4
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 5 Aug 13 04:00 mmcblk0p5
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 6 Aug 13 04:00 mmcblk0p6
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 179, 7 Aug 13 04:00 mmcblk0p7

If these do not exist on the install initrd that you will have a
problem. It should be there for all plug PC installs.

I always had to partition by hand then run the install to mmc
partitions as the slackware scrips did not detect mmc partitions
(unless I altered it). (Pre 13.37 at least)

I run boot/root off mmc on sheevas. Guru uses the USB bus so it is
sdb (LUN 1). My Dockstar is a USB plugged device so it is sda.
