Can you see if you can kick into rescue menu? Hold down home when it boots. Should help us diagnose - it's a completely fresh port and I didn't manage to test it yet so :P

Does it hang before or after the first boot wizard?

maemian is a tool to do 'policy checking'. That is to say, it will look at your packaged software and try to make sure everything is installable and according to the policy that mer sets out. This allows for higher quality.

maemian is based on debian's lintian and is still in development. You can join the development on garage if you are interested. It is written in perl.

Sure thing. PM me anytime if you find somebody that's worth sending it to.

I have everything in the original box, it was lightly used. If that's my only way to give back to the community, then I'm looking forward to it.

After, just before the progress end.

The boot menu freezes after clicking on an icon, doesn't matter which... Hmm, should I turn some R&D switches on/off?

You can actually move in the items? Well, that's a improvement over 0.12 :P Home key bringing up rescue menu, and none of the items do anything? Thanks for trying, btw - wish I could make a more ready-for-testing image :)

I installed latest 770 testing version (0.15). I can not get any of my wireless networks shown on the list and creating a profile does not help either. Any ideas? At least normal mer boot from rescue menu works. Can not wait to try included Tear.
I'm using he2008 kernel, is this the right one?

Network manager says there are no network devices available

Thanks for your efforts for N770 users.

Same for me, I can't manage the wi-fi to work. I had success with the wi-fi and mer 0.12 but I have "no network devices available " with mer 0.15

Just out of curiosity; when exactly - as a guess - would you say Mer would be ready for primetime?
