You are right that I did not extract the rootfs, but that is because 1) I do not know how to extract the rootfs and 2) none of the various instructions on the wiki (which are inconsistent) worked for me. For instance, when I do the various modprobe commands that are listed, all of them come back FATAL no such module, like so: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/qtopia# modprobe mtdcore FATAL: Module mtdcore not found. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/qtopia# modprobe jffs2 FATAL: Module jffs2 not found. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/qtopia# modprobe mtdram total_size=59024 FATAL: Module mtdram not found. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/qtopia# modprobe mtdchar FATAL: Module mtdchar not found. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/qtopia# modprobe mtdblock FATAL: Module mtdblock not found. I should also emphasize to an earlier responder that I want to place both the kernel and the rootfs on the same ext2 partition, namely partition 2. I believe this is possible, and I'd prefer it to having the kernel in the first FAT partition. >> 4.

I'm not going to engage on this point. It wouldn't be productive.
