give us some details on how did it occur and what were you doing when it gave you an error (what was the last command you run for example)

 

[sissons87]

"curl -O http://archlinuxarm.org/mirror/touchpad/ArchLinuxARM-touchpad-latest.tar.gz"

this was the last command i wrote, and it downloaded about 39mb and failed. before this i had partitioned the hard drive too.

is this fixable?

 

[Adonis K.]

before this i had partitioned the hard drive too.

i think the keyword for the problem is here, can you recall what commands exactly did you run?

also just like chessmaster w/nook asked you, do you have moboot installed?

Holding down the power and home key always reset my tp. And with HP its pretty impossible to brick ur device HP doc

okay heres a detailed explanation of what i done.

i put my touchpad in to dev mode.

accessed novaterm from my ubuntu window.

i then followed all of these commands:

"mount -o rw,remount /boot
cd /tmp
curl -O http://moboot.googlecode.com/files/moboot_0.3.5.zip
unzip moboot_0.3.5.zip
mv uImage.moboot_0.3.5 /boot/uImage.moboot
cd /boot
rm uImage
ln -s uImage.moboot uImage
ln -s uImage-2.6.35-palm-tenderloin uImage.webOS
echo "yes" > moboot.verbose.ArchLinuxARM
sync
curl -O http://archlinuxarm.org/mirror/touchpad/uImage.ArchLinuxARM
curl -O http://archlinuxarm.org/mirror/touchpad/moboot.splash.ArchLinuxARM.tga
cd /tmp
pkill -SIGUSR1 cryptofs
umount /media/internal
echo "STOP HERE AND READ 'RESIZE FAT' BEFORE CONTINUING" # See below
resizefat /dev/store/media ****M
lvm.static lvresize -L -4096M /dev/store/media
lvm.static lvcreate -L 4096M -n arch-root store
mkfs.ext3 /dev/store/arch-root
mkdir linux
mount /dev/store/arch-root linux
cd linux
curl -O http://archlinuxarm.org/mirror/touchpad/ArchLinuxARM-touchpad-latest.tar.gz
tar xzf ArchLinuxARM-touchpad-latest.tar.gz # Will take a long time
rm ArchLinuxARM-touchpad-latest.tar.gz
cd ..
umount linux
reboot # The first few times, this may error out - try again"

where the ****M is i put 7944M i think this may be the issue.

when i got to this command it started downloading and then got an error at 39mb:

"curl -O http://archlinuxarm.org/mirror/touchpad/ArchLinuxARM-touchpad-latest.tar.gz"

ive then ran webos doctor numbers of times but no luck. it wont even let me novaterm back in not sure what to do :/ any help would be great.

Did you enter

"lvm.static lvcreate -l 1761 -i 1 -M y --major 254 --minor 6 -n media store"

or

"lvm.static lvcreate -l 3523 -i 1 -M y --major 254 --minor 6 -n media store"?

I entered " "lvm.static lvcreate -l 1648 -i 1 -M y --major 254 --minor 6 -n media store" i wouldnt let me put 1761 cus i got the same sort of error.

Yes, running them again will erase all the necessary stuff so you can rebuild it.

 

[sissons87]

Hii !

I got exactly the same problem ! And I followed a tutorial I found on rootzwiki (dumb I can't post the link cuz this is my first message).

Anyway look for that on Google (with the quotes) :"HOW TO make a larger cm7 data partition" touchpad

It's a txt file and it worked all fine on mine. Hope it would help you.
