which kernel. if you did i suppose it had support for both arches. like i said thats possible.

and concerning the abi ubunt and debian go different ways.
otherwise you may give your explanation to why chroot doesn't work for some.

Right, packages are built with different instruction sets.

And anyway as chroot fails and bootmenu uses a root pivoting/changing, it cannot work.

i see the devices swapped. /dev/mmc0 is the external sd.
do you see the same?

Yes! but I think that both kernels see them in the same manner, cannot confirm and check now, please verify with cat /proc/partitions under freemantle.

Which meego image did you pull those modules and firmware from? theres the restricted meego-handset-armv7l-n900-final-mod-1.1.0.0.20101101.3-mmcblk0p.raw and the open meego-handset-armv7l-n900-1.1-mmcblk0p.raw

i know i am bad but another question:
do you know to which degree the meego stuff may be used. i mean take it, change it and pass it on, use it in other contexts(like ubuntu). simple: which licence?

reason: some time ago they said they no longer distinguish between free and nonfree. nice if everything would be free. but looking at their page i found an oposite statement that certain stuff is closed and only nokia staff and subcontractors have acces to it. now i am not sure what is free and what is burried software(i call it burried because it's dead as it may not be used outside its crypt)

guys need help on creating new user account...

i tried this command useradd -m stalker

how do i input my password???

another newbie question,

i repartition my N900 flash... i shrink my 27gb MyDocs partition into 13.9gb and add 7 extended partitions with 2gb space per extended partitions... my extended partions mmcblk0p5 to mmcblk0p7 works fine and i can mount it... But partitions from mmcblk0p8 to mmcblk0p11 dont work or i cant mount ... Is there a limit or maximum number of extended partitions?

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 
please! this /completely/ OT!
short answer a) "passwd <user>" b) yes there is a limit(to be clear: you didn't hit it).
