USB card - xbox
I am trying the MechInstaller deal for Linux on the Xbox, with a problem I hope someone can help with.
I successfully "formatted" the USB stick in the XBOX, and then plugged it into my RH9 Linux box. It automounted at /proc/bus/usb. The instructions say to copy the file over next. When I attempt to copy to the USB stick, it says: "cannot create regular file xboxetc... :no such file or directory." This is my problem. I can't copy to the USB disk. Kdiskfree utility lists it as a VFAT. It is supposed to format from the Xbox as VFATX. It lists as "usbdevfs" when I type mount. So I just need to know how to copy one file to this device. As I said, I have RH9, the USB flash drive is apparently a "COMPUSA" brand, I see no distinguishing name on it. When I type the "mount" command, this is the output: /dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw) none on /proc type proc (rw) usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw) /dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) /dev/hdb2 on /mnt/win type ntfs (ro,umask=0222) Here are some other things I've tried: [root@desktop phil]# mount -t vfat usbdevfs /mnt/xbox mount: special device usbdevfs does not exist [root@desktop phil]# mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/xbox mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda, or too many mounted file systems [root@desktop phil]# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/xbox mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device Is there a way to FORCE a copy to a device? Because I think the problem is the disk file system isnt recognized. BTW, I tried the directions from the MECHINSTALLER HOW-TO, and the "sh findfatx.sh~" command showed no results, meaning apparently I have no XBOX formatted device attached, even though XBOX recognizes it. Thanks, any help would be appreciated. phil |

That is the MECHINSTALLER HOW-TO, that I referred to in my post. I have read it extensively.

Ok, I think I have it down to one simple problem. I need to use the dd comand to copy the file apparently. I have tried dd if= of=, but it says the of= file doesn't exist. I thought that it would create that file??
Any help with the dd command, and I have RTFM, but no help. thanks, phil |
