Hi, after installing KSM08, I was going to load the KoboRoot.tgz for the Kobo Aura One KSM update, but I accidentally loaded the KoboRoot.tgz from koreader.
This seems to have deleted everything in /mnt/onboard (ls -la /mnt/onboard via ksm terminal shows nothing). Most of the scripts for KSM that run off /mnt/onboard/.adds fail obviously and nickel won't load. Can't get USB or USBNet working.
Am I screwed or is there a way to recover from this without having to rip open the Kobo?

Hi whoops,
This must have been a terrifying experience. I am glad it finally went well. Several things were happening. I try to give some explanations:
1) When KSM detects an update file (KoboRoot.tgz) it adds a new entry to the main menu "handle update".
2) When there is an update file in .kobo and you try to start nickel from KSM, KSM refuses to start nickel and asks the user to handle the update first. When nickel is started (without KSM) and it detects an update, it reboots the reader (this is part of nickel's normal update process).
3) The basic KSM 8 is not able to handle usb and wifi on Kobo Aura One. The KSM update for Aura one was provided to fix this. If KSM (without the update) tries to enable usb, it prepares this by unmounting /mnt/onboard, and loading two modules, but failes to load one of the modules on Aura One. Unfortunately, there is no error handling and /mnt/onboard remains unmounted, and the one module that was loaded remains loaded. The result in your case was that you did not see /mnt/onboard, and that you could not enable usbNet.
I hope you enjoy your KA1 and KSM nevertheless.
