Although I thought my difficulties with the Clie T675 was solved, they weren't and I feel there's a big problem with the ordering in which things are done on boot .
During the RC2 setup I define the partitions manually, (auto)mount the Clie Memory Stick as /mnt/clie and ask diskdrake to format it. Data _is_ transferred to the Clie (as per message on Clie screen) and, on inspection, the Memory Stick _is_ formatted, so Linux is 'seeing' /dev/sda1 then. However, when I reboot (no Cooker updates yet) I see inter alia the following messages: finding module dependencies special device /dev/sda1 not found [error] . . . loading usb-uhci . . It seems odd that the USB bus is being initialised _after_ an attempt is made to set up /dev/sda1 which is a USB device ... Thereafter the device doesn't appear on the Gnome desktop and trying to mount /dev/sda1 manually fails with a similar 'not found' message to above. However, /mnt/clie exists and /etc/fstab contains /dev/sda1 /mnt/clie vfat iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 which looks fine. lspcidrake -v gives unknown : Sony|Sony PEG Mass Storage [Mass Storage|SFF-8070i] (vendor:054c device:0099) as I'd expect, cat /proc/partitions gives 8 0 31712 scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc * 8 1 31704 scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 * 3 0 19551168 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc 3 1 3582463 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 3 2 1 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 3 5 248976 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 3 6 15719634 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6 where the lines * refer to the Clie and cat /proc/mod gives n_hdlc 6368 1 (autoclean) ppp_synctty 5952 1 (autoclean) ppp_generic 20064 3 (autoclean) [ppp_synctty] slhc 5072 0 (autoclean) [ppp_generic] sr_mod 15096 0 (autoclean) (unused) ide-cd 28744 0 (autoclean) cdrom 26848 0 (autoclean) [sr_mod ide-cd] floppy 49340 0 (autoclean) i810 59396 1 agpgart 31840 7 (autoclean) parport_pc 21672 1 (autoclean) lp 6720 0 (autoclean) parport 23936 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp] nls_iso8859-15 3356 1 (autoclean) nls_cp850 3580 1 (autoclean) printer 6944 0 i810_audio 21352 1 soundcore 3780 0 [i810_audio] ac97_codec 9928 0 [i810_audio] keybdev 1920 0 (unused) mousedev 4116 1 hid 18340 0 (unused) usbmouse 2004 0 (unused) input 3456 0 [keybdev mousedev hid usbmouse] nfsd 66576 0 (autoclean) lockd 46480 0 (autoclean) [nfsd] sunrpc 60188 0 (autoclean) [nfsd lockd] af_packet 13000 0 (autoclean) usb-uhci 21676 0 (unused) 3c59x 27216 0 (autoclean) (unused) vfat 9556 1 (autoclean) fat 31864 0 (autoclean) [vfat] supermount 14564 2 (autoclean) sd_mod 11788 2 (autoclean) * usb-storage 51888 1 * usbcore 57984 1 [printer hid usbmouse usb-uhci usb-storage] * scsi_mod 90436 3 [sr_mod sd_mod usb-storage] * rtc 6560 0 (autoclean) ext3 74004 2 jbd 38452 2 [ext3] where the lines marked * are, again, relevant.
