Package: flash-kernel
Version: 1.1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I just found out why flashing the kernel to the flash of my Thecus N2100
was not working: I had disabled udev there, and as a result there were
no /dev/mtdblock{1,2} files which flash-kernel wants to write to.
Apparently flash-kernel does not check whether these files exist and/or
are block devices, either; it will happily create regular files under
/dev without any error message.
A 'test -b /dev/mtdblock1' before trying to write to it would probably
be appropriate.
