05:28.06AdamWhi, all. i'm trying to boot Linux on an HTC Apache following the instructions at http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/ApacheLinux . it fails quite early in the Linux boot and dumps me to a busybox. from the output, it seems like it tries to mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 but fails as it isn't present - then a few lines later, /dev/mmcblk0p1 has shown up...
05:28.11AdamWlooks like a race condition.
06:05.11joshua_sounds like it.

15:12.54akaDruidbeginner question: is it possible to use linux on ipaq to expose a mounted SD card as a USB mass storage device i.e. make it work like a USB flash drive
15:13.26Davo_Dinkumprobably
15:17.29akaDruiddo you think it would it prevent the ipaq writing to the card at the same time?
15:18.19Davo_Dinkumwhy would it do that? a USB mass storage has write access
15:19.07Davo_Dinkumanyway wait for more knowlegable people.
15:21.25akaDruidproabably a stupid question, sorry.  What I'm thinking of is a connecting one to the USB input of a mp3-playing car stereo, permanently, and updating the SD card via a wireless jacket on a regular basis.
15:22.09akaDruidjust knowing that its not a stupid idea is enough at this stage :)

16:22.35joshua_Davo_Dinkum, for your reference, yes, there is a mass storage USB gadget driver, BUT it wouldn't be wise to have both the host and the iPAQ writing to the device at the same time
