When the partitioning is done and you boot the device, your ubiboot environment works just like before.

When you have repartitioned the device, you can extract the Nemo rootFS to your mmcblk0p4 either via the MOSLO export or ubiboot maintanance console. (or you can do it in the device console, whatever...)

I'm not sure about what to do, isn't it ok if i do (in ubuntu)
wget -r -l1 -nd --no-parent -Amoslo-0.*.rpm http://releases.nemomobile.org/snaps...mv7hl/armv7hl/
rpm2cpio moslo-*.armv7hl.rpm | cpio -vidu
sudo flasher -k usr/share/moslo/zImage-moslo -n usr/share/moslo/initrd-moslo -l -b

and then when finished:

sudo tar --numeric-owner -xf nemo-handset-armv7hl-n950-*.tar.bz2 -C /media/Alt_OS/
which are steps in the wiki? :confused:

That is more or less correct as I remember it :)

In the wiki the steps are under the section "Install Nemo Mobile OS" before you hit the section "Flash the Device with Ubiboot-02"

@juiceme ok thanks :)

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)

@juiceme I tried, but boot script still said not found

I'll need to get one of my partitions formatted to exfat and try it myself, then.
Can you show me your /var/log/ubiboot.log, what does it say about mounting partitions?

It should be still available, as it is on your root partition /var/log directory....

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)

I figured out how to easily do this without windows :D

installed exfat-utils to my Easy Debian sandbox
formatted a partition to exfat and verified it's mountable
booted to ubiboot console and mounted it as exfat

-> everything works OK for me.

So, Tmavica, there must be some glitch in the ubiboot-02_230913 alpha that causes this to not behave correctly for you.

Can you try the following:

go to ubiboot maintanance console
unmount all exported filesystems (if any) from your PC (this is important or the next command does not work)
remove the exports on N9 by command "echo "" > /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/gadget/lun0/file"
check that there are no mounts of mmcblk0 by command "mount"
try to mount the partition with command "mount -t exfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/1" (assuming that it is your partition 1 that is exfat)
check with command "mount" that the partition is mounted correctly

and you should see something like this:

/ #
/ # mount -t exfat /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/1
/ # mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
none on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,size=498796k,nr_inodes=124699,mode=75 5)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)
none on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=10240k)
/proc/sys/debug on /proc/sys/debug type debugfs (rw,relatime)
none on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,noatime,size=256k,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600)
/dev/mmcblk0p1 on /mnt/1 type exfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,iocharset=utf8, namecase=0,errors=remount-ro)
/ #
