I think initrd.img-3.2... would already be compressed, I don't know if
doing that again would have confused anything. Worth trying without
though it.


(Feeling VERY sheepish) You're right. Just copying the file over and not gzipping it works fine. I knew it was something simple. I can't believe how many days I spent on this before breaking down and asking here!

So although mmcblk0p2 is available, it looks like the system can't mount
it for some reason.

Can you use kpartx on the image and mount in the host? What filesystem
ended up on it? Are you sure it is the rootfs and not e.g. swap?

Ian.



I already did that - in fact I mounted the virtual disk as an NDB mount and verified all of the partitions were ok.

Thanks again for your quick response, Ian. I only wish I had asked last week :)

Jerry
