Re: [Gumstix-users] CF not mounting - WAITING HELPS (Grahame Kelly)

Hi James.

I do as pointed out by others (more knowledgeable about gumstix than I).

I found also running three root ssh sessions to the gumstix and using:
1> to monitor udev allocation via the command "udevmonitor --env"
2> to monitor the global log via the command "tail -f /var/log/messages"
3> to monitor modules to the kernel mod stack via a shell script as  
follows:

# cat ./seeall.sh
while (true) do {
         /bin/lsmod;
         /bin/sleep 3;
         /bin/busybox clear;
         }
done;
#

which runs in a small xterm that updates the lsmod command for you  
continually,
via "sh ./seeall.sh"
assuming you have commented out all the /etc/module	parameters before  
rebooting
I do the following in another xterm:
modprobe pcmcia
modprobe ide-disk
modprobe ide_generic
modprobe nls_iso8859-1
modprobe nls_cp437
modprobe ide_cs

each time watching what is going on in the other xterms.

By this time, with everything loaded and correctly running you should  
be able to see in /dev a device file for hda1 as follows:
brw-rw----    1 root     disk       3,   0 Dec 31 16:03 hda
brw-rw----    1 root     disk       3,   1 Dec 31 16:03 hda1

Now, and only now can you mount the cf card:
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/fc

and your away.

Hope this assists you.
Cheers Grahame
