In this case i tried applying a new ROM
Clockwork Mod Recovery v2.5.0.5
Waiting for SD Card to mount (20s)
SD Card mounted...
ROM Manager Version 2.0.2.6
Preparing to install ROM...
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)
(Device or resource busy)
CAn't mount /sdcard
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)
(Device or resource busy)
Help please??

Try updating your recovery (from ROM Manager). The latest one is 2.5.0.7

x2....go to koushs site, i cant tell you the site name, but you need the latest bootloader. It puts a custom Clockwork mod 2.5.0.6. This is what you need. the original had issues with the mounting process of the sd card.

U need da DroidX bootstrap... >>>

ROM Manager + RomKitchen failure - cannot open file

Hi all,
I have SGS i9000 from PlusGSM. It's rooted. Today i'v installed ROM Manager. I cooked "my" ROM, downloaded it - JV5_No_Wipe-v6-20-19-25-21-06-4e00e0a7e252b.zip - and saved on internal card (mounted in /sd on my phone).
I tried to:
1. Create backup of current rom and flash ROM from SD card via ROM Manager
2. Just flash from SD card.
I tried to fix privileges and then do 1 and 2.
I also tried to remove external sd card and repeat 1/2.
I always get after rebooting into recovery mode:
-- Install from package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /cache/update.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I thought about using manual "update" in recovery mode but then, it looks for
/sdcard/update.zip (not /sd/update.zip) so i assume naming file as update.zip in /sd would give me nothing.
I suppose my problem is trivial but it's my first attempt to flash my SGS with a custom ROM and I cannot find good answer that would lead me to the solution (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1060352.html).
Thank you for your patience.I appreciate any suggestions,

You don't need RomManager to flash updates. You just need a CWM enabled kernel and then you can flash romkitchen directly from recovery.
I would suggest you install hardcore-s kernel using Heimdall or Odin. Altough CFRoot is also good and has CWM.
RomManager is supposed to be a frontend to CWM, but it did not work for me and I heard that it sometimes fails on the SGS.

[Q] Install a custom ROM

Hey,
I want to install a custom ROM..
I've rooted the phone and installed ClockworkMod (recovery).
I booted into recovery mode and tried to wipe all. That worked.
I copied the ROM file to an external SD-Card (The SD-Card is not empty), but it don'f find the sdcard???
I get the message: "unable to mount /sdcard"
Anyway, isn't that the internal sd-card?
How to go on?

shut down you phone
then startit by pressing and HOLDING both power & volume down (untill you see android in text on your screen)
that usually works.
if it doesnt, remove backcover and hardplug your sd card (remove it and put it back in)

Haha!
Im a newbie
It worked Thanks a lot!
Kind of funny to play with this stuff

Hello,
after the reboot to the ClockworkMod i give this error:
Installing: /sdcard/_ExternalSD/update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-Optimus2X-signed.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open /sdcard/_ExternalSD/update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-Optimus2X-signed.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
Any idea?

Dont use the update function, look a bit more down i think its called install zip or something.
You did use rom manager from the market right?
If this is what you did make a backup and try reformatting your sd
I have the same problem every now and then
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App

What is important is the version of CWM. If you use 3.2.x.x version, the external SDcard is the only that can be used.
If you use 4.0.0.x, you must verify wich version you used, there is one version that can mount only internal SDCard and one that can mount only external one.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098745

Not sure what version of CWM I have, but it worked by holding down power button and vol. down.
It also helped to plug it out and then in again...The sd-card
