Ok I got what I needed off the Compact Flash card I was using, I used dd to extract the information and store it as a *img file in my home directory. Now I re-did my kernel to use Compressed ROMFS Support (cramfs) and tried using mount -o loop -t cramfs /root/flash.img /mnt/flashcard and that locks up mount to where I can't even kill -9 the pid. I have tried putting -o loop in misc places all with the same result using: root@office:~ > mount -t cramfs /root/flash.img /mnt/flashcard mount: /root/flash.img is not a block device (maybe try `-o loop'?) and again when I use -o loop it locks and can't be killed. I decided to try a different method where I dd if=/root/flash.img of=/dev/hdc1 which puts in a few thousand records (65K) and exits normally. but once I do that I use mount -t cramfs /dev/hdc1 /mnt/flashcard and it says root@office:~ > mount -t cramfs /dev/hdc1 /mnt/babygfs mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc1, or too many mounted file systems I checked the image with khex edit, and in there, there are references to a Compressed ROMFS and shows a directory structure in the mix os everything, so I know there is something in there. I am going crazy trying to find an answer to mouting this, ANY help would be appreciated greatly! Robert Kris Davies
