Re: U-boot is now in extras-devel
 
Well, that makes perfect sense. The whole point of the uboot instructions here: http://al.robotfuzz.com/~al/maemo/u-boot/ was that you needed to make another partition at the end of your card, with the Kernel image. If Stskeeps says the code drop one has a kernel included, it has a kernel included.

Stskeeps - I would be happy to do it (when the PR1.3 version of Power Kernel is out), but I honestly lack the knowledge of how. I can follow the instructions (though I suspect I'll have to go through a virtual machine to do it - I run Windows, which means I need to dig up the right tools to properly convert the images). My main concern was if there's anything possibly incompatible between uboot and the power kernel. But I assume not, so whatever. Anyway, if I can make it happen, I will when the time comes.

If you want overclock possible kernel with u-boot, you can try my experimental power40+PR1.3 kernel.

Installation instructions and the necessary files are here:

It is not possible to configure the u-boot binary in the package, due to a small bug. You can use my u-boot binary, which is configurable by a boot.scr file in the (FAT) third partition of the SD card, or wait for the package maintainer to fix this bug and upload a new version.

A few days ago I've raw-written the MeeGo 1.1 (Release) Handset UX image to a micro SD card and I could boot into MeeGo by using the flasher -l -b -k command.

Just now I installed the U-boot successfully but it failed to boot into MeeGo. Soon I found out in this site that we will need to create an extra FAT partition, convert the MeeGo kernel file to an uImage, and then put the uImage to the newly created FAT partition in order to make it boots.

Will it be possible that we can download the "ready-made" uImage from repo.meego.com like where we download the .raw images? I suggest this because the purpose of u-boot after all is to ease the process of testing MeeGo, and the additional steps mentioned are quite troublesome for those who would like to test the daily builds frequently and for those who are using Windows as their primary OS...
for the devs: uboot ext2 bug might not be solvable for every purpose but it is just two lines to make it work. the returncode in the read function is hardcoded to be allways 1 so it fails. without that you can have the kernel on the ext2/ext3.. meaning a bootmenu on the n900 + the kernels next to it -> no flashing anymore.

worked for me. but it might need examining why the long time avaible patch is not applyed. might have a reason(some failure). i didn't dig into it.

for the n900 it worked for me.

maybe it helps?
