Some distributions are known to have implemented multi-lib with changes in the ld.so ordered list of "trusted directories".

I don't know if ArchLinux is one of them.

Perhaps a: strace -fF ... of the application will show where the loader is searching in your distribution (while looking for something it can't find, it should try everything it knows).

I'm sorry, I didn't know there is needed to have installed mono even for native version. But now I see it in strace output...
I will update first post and upload source.

EDIT: I'm afraid, I don't understand that "multilib" thing. Can someone please post exact name of package?
Source has been uploaded. Good luck with deciphering which code do what (there is not much comments)

EDIT2: in next version will be able to confirm root password with Enter key (and other things, but mostly just small)

@Geekmaster: good to know, thanks. Still I am sure hostar will prefer I help debugging his software. I am pretty sure this is simple to solve.

Hi hostar, firstly, thanks for your work.
Multilib are specific to 64-bit Linux/Unix OSes: some binaries are compiled in 32-bit addressing mode, and thus require 32-bit versions of libraries. On a 64-bit system, libraries in /usr/lib are in 64-bit mode and for compatibility reasons, equivalent libraries in 32-bit are kept in /usr/lib32.
On Archlinux 64, thre are no lib32 equivalent to mono. You must have compiled your GUI in a 32 bit environment, and therefore it cannot run using a 64 bit mono library.
The fact you have released the sources will allow me to recompile in 64-bit and see if this works.

Hi,

OK I tried the source in monodevelop and am happy to say it succesfully built and ran without modifications. The only thing: I got a Fastboot-GUI.exe file, which I had to run using the command
Code:
mono Fastboot-GUI.exe
, a bit like a java program.

Now for usage: I have a Kindle Touch. I had to create the empty file ENABLE_DIAGS from scratch because there is no DONT_HALT_ON_REPAIR file. After reboot, I have the developer menu on the Kindle, but get no "F) Fastboot Bundle Install" under the "D) Exit, Reboot or Disable Diags" menu. Am I doing something wrong? Or is it my Kindle model?

Whoot! Both a Linux 32bit and a Linux 64bit build.
Getting closer.

1) Great. But as you can see, this output exe run just under mono. For making really native x64 binary, run:
mkbundle ./Fastboot-GUI.exe
and post output here.

2) You really SHOULD have there "Fastboot Bundle Install", but I don't have Touch model, so maybe is elsewhere.

My Kindle OS version is different from your screenshots, I will come back with further info. Or maybe I am doing something wrong? Do I need to jailbreak it? Or does ENABLE_DIAGS suffice?

OK, when I enter diags, I have: WHITNEY_WFO 1.0.6.242

Supposing that the letters are consistent between systems:
Main menu: S O E B N Y U D and L
Under D (Exit...) I have U C R D L M and S, but no F.

Here is the file attached.

I tried MfgTools under Windows, and curiously was unable to boot on fastboot mode. I am now wondering if Amazon has removed this capability in latest K5? I'll create a thread about this, because I may also be doing something wrong.

No I have not. I used the stock K5. At the moment, I was exploring my Kindle unchanged. Is it because of this?
