Re: Diablo dual boot?
 

Anyone willing to dumb it down and come down to my level...perhaps help me figure out how to boot Diablo from my card?

Please? I'll write up a pretty tutorial for the wiki so you can all avoid this question in the future!

(yes, I've read all the threads about it...but with Fanoush's update for diablo, I'm not having any luck)

Re: Diablo dual boot?
 

Nemo,

Doing some more research Fanoush says it's not completely done yet... so I'd recommend waiting a few days for everything to break out... otherwise my understanding is that you could use any of the guides to copy other versions to a card, just substitute the new version of the software for the older one.

and thanks Benson

Re: Diablo dual boot?
 

I am currently using dual boot and followed all the instructions word for word and have no problems. Except. I have no idea what most of the words mean. For instance; what the heck is "initfs". I have searched and searched and come up blank.
If I can understand some of the jargon I will be able to better understand how to get to dual booting Diablo. Thnks.

Start with installing a bootmenu first.

This may help, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...mplified+clone, #347
__________________________________________________ ______
Bootmenu installation, http://examplified.net/guide/Nokia_7...ting_from_MMC/ , perform steps 6,7,8,9 and then 13:
__________________________________________________
When the tablet restarts, connect to the internet and download, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...&page=20, #199, to the documents folder.

Type

sudo gainroot
cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/
tar zxvf initfs_flasher.tgz
cd initfs_flasher
mv bootmenu.conf.n800.example bootmenu.conf #or choose your own one

Close all applications, and disconnect from internet. Then type:

./initfs_flash

This will ask you several questions, here is what I recommend (type what's in bold):

backup? no
remove extra stuff? yes
found, do you want to add it to initfs? yes
ready for flashing this image? yes
Press enter to reboot device

Press enter. Boot from internal flash as we haven't cloned the system yet on to the MMC.

Reboot
sudo gainroot
chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:mmc2 #pick your own choice

Don't need to remove extra stuff now. It's got double the size with Diablo...

i got error on this code.... mv connot rename bootmenu.conf.n800.example: no such file on directory


HELP!!!!

Re: Diablo dual boot?
 

There is no diablo initfs here http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/
IMHO the best way is change linuxrc on diablo initfs and put bootmenu.sh + bootmenu.conf on it.
