Need Help With Midori Install

Okay - I've seen a couple of other people with this problem, but no solutions so far. I've got the newest Midori image installed on the internal CF of my IA-1 and I can't get into X. Here are the error messages I get when I boot:

Mounting usr partition...
cramfs: wrong magic
mount: Invalid argument
packcramfs: error while mounting cramfs image
Thawing config partition to /tmp/config...
Error -3 while decompressing!

55: Aborted

Device wlan0 is disabled.
Spawning shell (return to root shell with ctrl-alt-F1)...

And then I get a BusyBox shell and I really can't do anything from that point. I've got some experience with Linux, bot not a great deal, and from the BusyBox shell none of the commands I'm familiar with work. Has anyone got any ideas why Midori won't work for me? I've had Rasmus' jailbait up and running, but I wanted to give Midori a shot.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I had the same problem. The default Midori install does in fact take you into X after bootup. The problem was somewhere in copying my image over. Be sure and use FDisk on your CF card. Go over all the instructions again for copying over the image. I know it's a lame answer but somewhere in those steps I made a mistake. I did it a second time and the machine booted up fine. Also one other thing that may help is when downloading the file make sure it gets named properly. Windows wanted to download it as an image type (ie. gif, jpg). When in DOS on 98 the file will show up as midori.img.img but you can't see that all you'll see is midori.img~ or something like that.

It's worth the effort it is a really good build and works well with the On/Off button. Hope this helps.
