Hi guys,
I've spent more times in these days to solve this problem on my WRT54G v3.1 with SDmod. I've read and used the howto follow this link: http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=10816 and iìve try to do this on my environ...

I have modified the mount_root script with these line:

#!/bin/sh
# Copyright (C) 2006 OpenWrt.org
. /etc/functions.sh

jffs2_ready () {
        mtdpart="$(find_mtd_part rootfs_data)"
        magic=$(hexdump $mtdpart -n 4 -e '4/1 "%02x"')
        [ "$magic" != "deadc0de" ]
}

grep rootfs_data /proc/mtd >/dev/null 2>/dev/null && {
        . /bin/firstboot
        mtd unlock rootfs_data
        jffs2_ready && {
        echo "loading USB and ext2 modules"
                insmod ext2
                insmod mmc
                echo "0x9c" > /proc/diag/gpiomask
                sleep 2
                echo "switching to jffs2"
             
        mount /dev/mmc/disk0/part1 /jffs -t ext2 && \
                        fopivot /jffs /rom
        } || {
                echo "jffs2 not ready yet; using ramdisk"
                ramoverlay
        }
} || {
        mtd unlock rootfs
        mount -o remount,rw /dev/root /
}

I have correctly make image with ImageBuilder for Kamikaze 7.09 but when i reboot the router the jffs not change, the sd is loaded correctly but is not mounted properly the df -h command returns the sequences:

root@OpenWrt:/# df -h
Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
none                      7.0M     32.0k      7.0M   0% /tmp
mini_fo:/tmp/root       832.0k    832.0k         0 100% /tmp/root
/dev/mtdblock/4           2.4M    324.0k      2.1M  13% /jffs
mini_fo:/jffs           832.0k    832.0k         0 100% /

As you can see, no sd (/dev/mmc/disc0/part1) has mounted...

I don't know where i'd wrong!!!grrrrggrrrr.....
What can i try?

p.s.
If someone have solve this problem on wrt, please post the right mount_root script.

Thank you

Oh...I have solve the problem with this USB howto http://wiki.openwrt.org/UsbStorageHowto … 6ac90d98fe

Some file must to be modified...for example the usb module is not necessary, so the different are:

create script /etc/init.d/pivotroot (Kamikaze 7.09 on my WRT54G v3.1 with sdmod GPIO5)

#!/bin/sh
# change this to your boot partition
boot_dev="/dev/mmc/disco0/part1"
# install needed modules for usb and the ext3 filesystem
# **NOTE** for usb2.0 replace "uhci" with "ehci-hcd"
# **NOTE** for ohci chipsets replace "uhci" with "usb-ohci"
for module in mmc ext2 ext3 ; do {
        insmod $module
}; done
# this may need to be higher if your disk is slow to initialize
sleep 2s
echo "0x9c" > /proc/diag/gpiomask
# mount the usb stick
mount "$boot_dev" /mnt
# if everything looks ok, do the pivot root
[ -x /mnt/sbin/init ] && {
        mount -o move /proc /mnt/proc && \
        pivot_root /mnt /mnt/mnt && {
                mount -o move /mnt/dev /dev
                mount -o move /mnt/tmp /tmp
                mount -o move /mnt/jffs2 /jffs2 2>&-
                mount -o move /mnt/sys /sys 2>&-
        }
}

and then these package must to be installed kmod-fs-ext2, kmod-fs-ext3, kmod-broadcom-mmc

The others things to do are always the same in the USB howto

Another problem solved!!! hehehe.....GREAT!!!

I have a Pronghorn Metro (ADI) board.
I simply want to mount the cf. I installed squashfs(with included jffs2).
But I cannot mount anyway the cf.

mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/disk :failed

Any suggestions?

Does anyone succed in mountig the compact flash card?
Please, help.

Why do you need the CF; Openwrt runs fine on the on-board flash.

Sorry for not answering, but i have two pronghorns and i have never tried to mount a CF. They are running fine from the onboard flash memmory.
