Well, apparantly it did not work. You will have to wait for the big guys, Mr. Milhouse himself. He wrote the script, he can help you. I now hit the bed...good luck.

Can the process be restarted??
Reboot and start over?

go control panel>memory and what does it say?

what is your partition on mmc2, the internal SD card?

do this

- cat /proc/partitions > part.txt and post part.txt

You can try, I doubt it is going to work

reboot,

then,

- xterm
- sudo gainroot
- cd ~/bin
- ./nupgrade.sh 0
- .........


just repeat ./upgrade.sh 0-4 ONLY, nothing else needs to repeat
that is the beauty of Mil's script, you only have to do it once
from now on, all upgrade is the same, only ./nupgrade.sh 0-4


no dl, no chmod.... at least for the same Os.

Internal memory says 4.87gb. Which is what I partitioned.
The "- cat /" I do that in root where I'm at?

after reboot,

- xterm
- cat /proc/partitions

(Do not type the preceeding "-")

Dan, one last suggestions, if that wont get you mad,

Repeat what you have learned, but on a 2 G card, if you have one.

You do not have to repeat a lot of things, in fact, you only have to:

1) partition 1G:1G is fine
2) format the /mmcblk0p1
3) go straight to ./nupgrade 0-4

And that is all, only if you still want to boot from the MMC. I was able to make it boot from 1G, 2G, 4G and I am still stuck at 8G, and I think you are doing 16G, right? Or sure, you can wait for the big guys and see what they say. I have seen people succeed on 8G though, not sure what is my own problem......may be an inferior quality card?


Sorry, I really have to go, I cant hardly get my body up for this bl00dy Monday 8 oclock office. good luck

on "cd ~/bin" I used "cd ~/sin" because I already had put a file called bin with the two downloaded apps.
Well it rebooted ok.
