maemo.org - Talk - Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)

I've added support for additional kexec options. That will allow you to specify an initrd image in ubiboot.conf.

I also replaced the Ubuntu graphic for a Maemo Leste graphic. ;)

Let's see if juiceme likes it. :D

Can you build and send me .conf file please?

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)

Did something I should have done ages past, prompted by @wicket actually :D
Branched https://github.com/juiceme/kernel-ad...t_v037_patched so that there'd be no trouble to find what is the correct repository to build ubiboot kernel :)

I have ubiboot small (tiny) installed on my N9.

Or do i need to install with fresh PR1.3?

You need to change 3 things,
1.) Update the new ubiboot.conf to your configuration partition
2.) Update the new ubiboot-02.menus.cpio to same place
3.) Flash the new kernel zImage_2.6.32.54-ubiboot-02_06032018

The new ubiboot is not compatible with the previous one, as internal interface version has changed.

However; you do not need to change any other partitions (OS installations), just make sure you copy to the new ubiboot.conf the same configuration you have now.

Ah, so it happens that your kernel partition is not large enough to hold the image. (so could be there is so much worn areas that the usable size has shrunken too much?)

Or is he device N9 or N950? I am not sure if the partition is smaller on N950 device?
