Huh. That's very strange. Are you on your Kobo Mini?

Download strace.zip from there: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...05&postcount=2
Unzip it
Use SCP/FTP to put the binary in the root storage of the Kobo (/)
Restart the Kobo

cd /

and try and post the output of this:

./strace losetup -P -f /mnt/onboard/.adds/kobox/kobox.img

(should not produce any output)
and this:

./strace mount /dev/loop1 /mnt/user

thanks.
I bought a Kobo Mini a few days ago and it should arrive soon, maybe I will more be able to help you
