I managed to mount the SD card with Linux, but now I have a different issue.

I put the zip file on the rootfs partition, then inside the root folder, then I tryed it unpacked, tryed zipped and unpacked on the KOBOeReader partition... nothing worked. What I am doing wrong? I search for where to insert the firmware on the SD card everywhere on the net, no luck.
The firmware update files need to go inside the ".kobo" directory that is the KOBOeReader partition. Unpack the downloaded zip file and put the files "KoboRoot.tgz" and "manifest.md5sum" and the directory "upgrade" there.

That will get the files onto the card. But, it doesn't trigger the firmware update. That happens when you disconnect the device from USB. If the device does do something when you connect to USB, but won't actually connect to the PC, it might be enough.
