[SD4L-user] Mount failed - No such file or directory

[maxl <max...@gm...>]

Hello.
I desperatly need help on this.
I am in this linux 'adventure' for about two weeks, so everything that
skips the "step by step" method transcends me.  :-)

uname:Linux ubuntu 2.6.15-23-386 #1 PREEMPT Tue May 23 13:49:40 UTC 2006
i686 GNU/Linux
PIII 1GHz


After lots of google and forums reading I start as in the sd4L pdf
instructions by "installing" kernel sources in /usr/src/
also intalled kernel headers.

Than
make oldconfig
and
user@ubuntu:/usr/src/linux$ sudo make dep
*** Warning: make dep is unnecessary now.    (???)

Untar the scramdisk source to Desktop, cd Scramdisk-0.9, and run
'make'
During the make process I get these errors:

Reboot, than start SD4L in terminal- scramdisk (later I did a shortcut).

Program starts with a nice GUI, enter paht to container, and path to mount
dir previously created;(/mnt/) or (/home/mnt/).

Click mount, enter the passfhrase and get this error:

"Mounting failed:"
"No such file or directory"

I am not sure if this is related to those errors shown durin make, make
install....

FYI, I made a "test" sd4l container of 64MB (raw) but couldn't mount than
went to windowsXP and formatted it with windows fat32 and it work in my
windows system. Back to linux still couldn't mount it.

As a side note, the "options" window is not fitting in height, the screen
of my laptop, and doesn't resize in order to show the bottom buttons!

TIA.
