Hi ,

I have tried to install this offline firmware on my old chumby classic, but during the first boot to install this firmware. I have got a voice error the say error due to read only acces on drive.

Best regards.

Sorry I missed this issue; GitHub apparently stopped sending notifications for them.

I also ran into issues with the Chumby reporting read only access; iirc it came down to the flash drive not being unmounted cleanly, e.g. by ejecting under Windows. Can you try running fsck or chkdisk on the flash drive?

I'll load the firmware onto a freshly formatted drive tonight and try it in my Chumby to see if I can repeat it again.

Oh, I took a look at the debugchumby script and I think I found the issue. Let me push a fix.
