You only need Clockwork Recovery Mod to be able to mount in Recovery mode, it doesn't matter what kernel you're running, it's baked into CWM.

This is the same issue I am having, same exact issue.

To the poster above, its not an SDCARD, I have mentioned that 3 times now, its mounting USB storage, the internal storage while in recorvery.

OK, what version of recovery are you using?
Please try http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074979 as this is the latest version of recovery that we are supporting.

Also with cwm our sdcard is the external sdcard, not the internal storage. So when you mount usb storage in recovery it will give you the external sdcard.
If you're being prompted to format a 3mb partition DON'T. This is likely not you're external sdcard and intact a partition on the internal xoom drive and could potentially brick you're device.

Hello!

I just rooted my MZ601 (European 3G along this manual) and after that installed the actual recovery and then the 1.4.1 Tiamat kernel - all worked fine and with no problems so far.

But the external sdcard does not show up (not in /sdcard as sdcard2 or any other name nor in /mnt/ ) - in recovery mode the same card works, but not with android up and running.
Used root explorer to look for it.

Any hints for me?

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but if you go back through the last dozen pages or so, several have stated you have to go from 1.4.0 to 1.4.1 in order to keep the sdcard active (in android, not cwm).

I know it probably sounds crazy, but many peole with a similar problem formatted their sd card using SD Card Formatter. It's a marvelous little tool and solves problems that even a Windows format doesn't fix.

I went straight from 1.3.2 to 1.4.1 and my sd card still showed up @ sdcard/sdcard2

Thanks to both of you. Will give 1.4.0 a try. After that maybe a format may the last try but the same card works really perfect in my Samsung Galaxy S.

//edit: installing 1.4.0 at first and then 1.4.1 has helped

People should let the guy breath! He knows what needs to be done I'm sure he has other things going on in his life. I'm grateful for what he's done this Guy is a great developer to say the least.

whoa guys calm down. I wasn't requesting a date nor insisting that it be done by any certain time. I was just asking a general question as how it was going. Sorry it upset you all.

Asking anything that can possibly be construed as asking for an eta is a major faux pas to all the forun dwellers, and many of them expect you to know the exact unwritten etiquette guide no matter what. When you asked said question, they like to jump on your back(like in this case) to show how much they love the dev and how much better they are at following the rules. Instead of ignoring the question or giving a polite answer, they would rather show off by online chest puffing. Anyway, I don't know how long it takes to make a kernel, but BigRushDog seems to be on top of things. I don't expect to be waiting long! I can't wait either!

P.S. Asking for eta's became a punishable offense by cyanogen, who absoletely hates when people ask. This is fine and he's made his stance known. However, now people just assume you should be stoned to death if you ask any dev, even if they are more than happy to field the question. Just some Android history.

And that's part of the problem this antiquated feeling that no one can ask a question, c'mon now they need to grow up and realize that the question is going to be asked and should feel flattered that this many people are waiting on them. I am sure in time it will be released.

No. You don't understand how irritating it is for people to ask for ETAs. As a developer myself for the OG Droid and the Incredible, it's was a daunting task filtering through all of the ETA posts and constant nagging from people for us to release updates or if something broke. It's *extremely* annoying.

That being said, everyone can be assured that this is brd's #1 priority and he will get the update out as soon as he can, until then, let him work and it will be ready when it's ready.

I am rooted and unlocked with a WIFI only currently running tiamat 1.4.1. I can not get GPS to lock at all. I was told by another forum member that they could not get thier GPS working correctly either on 1.4.1. Can someone please confirm or deny that GPS functions with 1.4.1? I can hold my EVO beside my xoom and it locks GPS right away so I know I am within SAT view. Yes, all GPS radio buttons are checked in settings. Thanks for the help.

    How to Install

    Instruction for flashing Tiamat Xoom Kernel And Boot Image Packs

    NOTE: These instruction assume you have flashed ClockworkMod Recovery and upgraded to Honeycomb 3.1!

    Preparation

    1. Proceed to the Boot Image Section and grab your favorite boot image. Not needed if you're happy with what you got.

    2. Proceed to the Download Center post and grab your kernel.

    Installation

    1. Reboot into recovery.

    2. Go into "mounts and storage"

    3. Select "mount USB storage"

    4. Your SD Card will now be mounted on your computer. Drop the kernel (and boot image pack if applicable) onto SD Card.

    5. "Go Back" then go into "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard"

    6. If you are flashing a boot image pack, flash it first. Then flash the kernel zip. NOT FOR ANDROID 3.2

    7. Back out to main menu and reboot.

    DISCLAIMER

    Only get Official Tiamat Xoom Kernel releases from this location or download from Kernel Manager. As a user and Android Enthusiast, you can rest assured that the releases from these sources are SAFE. These releases have been rigorously tested and are suitable for public release.

    As a Tiamat Xoom Kernel User, you agree to the following terms and common sense principals

    • As an Android Enthusiast, you are responsible for having a basic understanding of commonly used tools. These include, but are not limited to, ADB, shell, fastboot, and ClockworkMod Recovery.
    • You agree to follow the instructions EXACTLY AS POSTED. With recovery and Kernel Manager, it should now be relatively easy to flash.
    • You agree that this is a kernel development thread on a development website. You will treat other users with dignity respect. Your posts will be easily understandable and productive.
    • You agree to NEVER ASK FOR TIMEFRAMES OR ETA'S. I have a boss at work, and at home, and it's not you. ;)
    • As an Android Developer, I pledge to release SAFE kernels that are as stable as possible. The goal of kernel development is to improve the performance, battery life, and provide additional functionality to Android devices.
    • I pledge to keep my Github repository up-to-date. You will ALWAYS be able to fork, pull request, or just review my source. In fact, I highly encourage user participation in the development process.

    Full repository of all versions, released and unreleased for the HTC Droid Incredible, the HTC Evo 4G, and the Xoom

    Release notes for 2.0.0:
    Tiamat Kernel 2.0.0 Katana, is ONLY TO BE USED WITH 3.2. IT WILL NOT WORK WITH 3.1.
    Also, do not flash a boot.img as this will also break stuff at the moment on 3.2.

    Release Notes for 1.4.4: 1.7Ghz is likely as far as we can push the Tegra2 cores. We have stress tested the heck out of 1.7 and it is safe. However, safe does not mean stable. Personally, I can run 1.7 on Interactive governor all day and it's smooth as butter. Other folks get reboots. If you can not run at 1.7, try 1.6. Everybody who tested was able to run at 1.504 without any problems. Just because this release is clocked to 1.7, that does not mean you can not run at stock speeds. Simply do not overclock. The settings for 1Ghz are identical to stock settings. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you leave your device on INTERACTIVE. You may use Performance solely for benchmarking purposes, but then PUT IT BACK.

    USB Tether: Plug OTG cable into Xoom. Plug phone with microUSB cable into OTG cable. On phone, enable USB Tether. On Xoom, run the following in terminal or script manager (Scripter, GScript, Tasker) of your choice.

    Code:
    dhcpcd usb1
    setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8

    The Xoom will not show any indication that there is a network connection. But pull up your browser and surf away. Like I said earlier, I tested this personally on the Evo with a Sense rom. It works perfect. However, there are countless devices out there. Your experience may vary.

    Tiamat Xoom Kernel Modpacks

    Tiamat Xoom Kernel Boot Images For Honeycomb 3.1 ONLY NOT FOR 3.2


    Be sure to flash your boot image first! Then flash your kernel. You can flash the boot image and kernel back-to-back in the same recovery session. Don't worry. If you mess up and flash just these boot images, your device will still boot.:rolleyes::rolleyes:


    About These Boot Images

    These modifications apply to all boot images

    • Enable MicroSD card in Android mounted at "sdcard/external".
    • Enable USB Host with and OTG cable mounted at "/usbOTG"
    • New! EXT4 file system mount mod for faster write speeds and killer Quadrant scores. Thanks TDR from AndroidCentral!

    Guys, I'm gonna be honest for a second here. I have made the instructions as simple as possible. They can be made no simpler. You are flashing a boot image because RAMDISK IS STILL BEING DEVELOPED! All you have to do is follow the instructions. I spend alot of time not only on development, but developing the simplest method of implementation possible. In a few days when I drop a new Mass Storage kernel, you will most likely have to flash ANOTHER BOOT IMAGE. You can blame GoogMotoCorp for not doing the MicroSD card right. Just follow the instructions guys. Ughhh :confused: :confused:

    Just want to point out that the link to the new kernel is NOT bigrushdog's kernel. Flash with good judgment. Also, I think it was bad manners posting that link here....should have started your own thread.

    Sent from my HTC HD2

    It's all good. No worries. Not like I did enough this week or anything lol. I am going to release Tiamat 1.4.2 today. Quite frankly, it's wicked. BTW, don't be fooled by ext4 filesys hacks to trick a high quadrant score. You guys remember my "hyperspeed" kernel? It was the same thing. I can get a 9000 quadrant score doing that. Put it has no real impact on device performance. Anyways, we got a killer kernel on the way.
