Sansapatcher doesn't recognize e250
coarse.sand:
Results after the following commands:
umount /dev/sda1
mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sda1
Disconnect for Sansa system restart.
fdisk -l result:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 1011 1942270+ 6 FAT16
Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
phys=(0, 8, 12) logical=(0, 8, 20)
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(241, 212, 35) logical=(1010, 42, 12)
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 1011 1022 20480 84 OS/2 hidden C: drive
Partition 2 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
phys=(241, 212, 36) logical=(1010, 42, 13)
Partition 2 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(244, 97, 45) logical=(1021, 20, 52)
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
This thing really doesn't want to play nice, and sansapatcher still isn't detecting it.

OK you need to run fdisk to change the partition type to "b" (FAT32) before running mkfs.vfat.
The commands are:
fdisk /dev/sda
t (change partition type)
1 (Select partition 1)
b (Set to Fat32)
p (this step is just to be safe. It prints out the partition table for you to see)
w (Write the table)
Now run the mkfs.vfat command as before.

Okay, here we go. It lives! ;)
Everything seems to be more or less fine now, Rockbox has installed nicely.

I've switched the filing system to FAT32 now and it hasn't resolved anything. When inputed as "sudo ./sansapatcher", this is what appeared:

coarse.sand, I see what you are trying to do now. The problem is that your system is set to auto-mount. You must unmount /dev/sda1 first and then run sansapatcher. If you still have problems, post the output of the command:
