| |
Hi folks,
Is it possible that there is a problem with vfat on amd64? This is the effect I see:
I want to flash the BIOS of my PC, so I have to write a bootable DOS image on an USB stick and add the flash program and the new BIOS file:
cat DOS.img >/dev/sdd mount -t vfat /dev/sdd /mnt cp AWDFLASH.EXE FN85S235.BIN /mnt umount /mnt
The USB stick boots, but if I run AWDFLASH, then nothing happens. It justs sits there and doesn't do anything.
But if I try this instead
cp DOS.img FLASH.img mount -t vfat -o loop FLASH.img /mnt cp AWDFLASH.EXE FN85S235.BIN /mnt umount /mnt cat FLASH.img >/dev/sdd
then AWDFLASH works as expected.
Kernel is 2.6.8, but I had problems with 2.6.7, too.
???
