Would you be able to upload your actual kernel file?
vmlinuz-2.6.28.10power40 I believe.

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

wheres it located?

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

I'm not 100% where it is located on your N900 (bootmenu).

I have a zimage (which will work for as well) in:
/boot/ and in /boot/multiboot (you may have a /boot/bootmenu/ )

and I have them in:
/etc/multiboot/

So maybe I'm outta luck, I'm not sure where it is - Thank you very much anyhow! :)

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

you should be able to just put ITEM_KERNEL="2.6.28.10power40" in your *.item and it will flash power40 when you boot.

I wanna give 10.10 a go.
When i try to get the ubuntu img on my sd it stays blank ???
I tested
sudo sh -c './ubuntu-netbook-10.10-preinstalled-netbook-armel+omap.img >/dev/sdc4


sudo dd bs=4M if=ubuntu-netbook-10.10-preinstalled-netbook-armel+omap.img of=/dev/sdc4

latest gave me output like this :

2094403584 Bytes (2,1 GB) copyed, 389,831 s, 5,4 MB/s

still empty... Where do i go wrong ? I have tested unmout whole sdc and only sdc4 nothing helped :(

Good luck. I haven't seen him post here in a while, but, Im pretty sure that h-e-n depends on bme, which is closed source. So basically without proper battery management h-e-n is out of the question.

Whats this for?

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

Followed this :
I got the image, and try to put it on the sd, all done on a ubuntu pc, no luck yet. Dont know if this works on a partition, or if i need a whole sd ...
Gettting the files from the meego img was quite easy ...

Edit : Solved the problem by using a new sd card :D

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900
 

wait it is a whole sd image not only a partition.
so it's
> /dev/mmcblck1
without the pxx
look at the ubuntu page for a copy and paste command.
and you use /dev/sdc is on purpose?
