But as you said, you did that yourself.
So we don't know what the Amazon image had in it.

Personally, I think you are still running the "diags" operating system, not the "main" operating system.
It is the only thing that I can think of which would make your findings reasonable.

Over your serial connection, try entering these commands:
mkdir /tmp/main
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /tmp/main

If your in 'main' I would expect you to get a 'device busy' sort of message.
If your in 'diags' it will just mount the 'main' partition at /tmp/main

and/or
do a:
cd /
df .
The 'main' file system is much bigger than the 'diags' file system.
This:
Code:
mkdir /tmp/main
mount  /dev/mmcblk0p1 /tmp/main
gives me:

Code:
[root@kindle /etc]# mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /tmp/main
[ 3255.534173] EXT3-fs: barriers not enabled
[ 3255.538985] kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds

[ 3255.593570] EXT3-fs (mmcblk0p1): mounted filesystem with writeback data mode
[root@kindle /etc]# cd /
And
Code:
cd /
df
gives me

Code:
[root@kindle /]# df

I think it's still in Diags mode. So how can I go to "Main Mode"?
