Now the command went ok but when I boot with the keyboard opened and pick up kernel power I get a boot menu and when I pick up kernel power again I get Booting from (mtdblock4 jffs2)... and white screen and nothing happens.

Fanoush bootmenu does not support booting other kernels. I published new version of Fanoush bootmenu which ignore kernel entries. See thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=74720

U-boot from first post. I installed tools, then flasher and then extracted kernel from tar.gz.... u-boot-update-bootmenu and then rebooted... Since then reboot loop and a non working device :(

J4ZZ, flash defualt kernel. If you are using kernel power, make sure that also default nokia kernel is installed. If you have fanoush bootmenu, update it to new version.

Flashed default kernel. But I don't get what you mean by having both (default and power kernel) installed.

Anyway, flashing default kernel didn't help... I'm still reboot looping.

New version again :-) Now SW cursor is working. Also patches (without bootmenu) was sent to u-boot mailinglist, so its time to see nokia 900 support in upstream u-boot.

Ok, I tried a different brand of MicroSD card and it worked fine, no more 110 errors. The ones that were giving me trouble were Micro Center brand cards; I don't know the brand that worked, I've had them for a while.

So no other problems with SD cards? Sounds good.

Can somebody other test also booting systems from SD card (to be sure that problems are really fixed)?

FYI Micro Center cards are almost always rebranded A-Data cards.

I'm trying to boot nitdroid but no sucess, i extracted N12_UMay.tar.bz2 and updated with N12_update_2.3.7.tar.bz2 then installed nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-07_7-rc7_armel.deb. Also I tryed to copy this http://www.mediafire.com/?0v7ed0jzp6zcqb0 and http://www.mediafire.com/?lu5hq6rinitce5e kernels to mmcblk0p5


I use your .item from your u-boot-images_2012.04-1.tar.gz
Quote:
ITEM_NAME="NITDroid"
ITEM_KERNEL="uImage"
ITEM_DEVICE="${INT_CARD}p5"

ITEM_REUSEATAGS="1"
Sometimes i get NITDROID boot logo for few seconds but stills he hangs and shutdown and and don't remember with which kernel i booted to boot screen...

Can anyone say which kernel i should use to boot Nitdroid with u-boot, because i'm trying to do this 2 days and nothing, maybe I do some mistakes somewhere else ?

Re: U-Boot for Nokia RX-51 with BootMenu (updated version 2012.04)
 
Thanks Pali for great work on u-boot. It makes multi-boot in N900 easier and safe.

How to set default boot entry in u-boot ?

I am not very sure if this has been answered before. I tried looking in this forum but didn't get a straight answer.

I am using the power kernel in multi-boot mode and would like it to be set as default.

Now, I have to make sure that the keypad is out before I power-up N900 and select power kernel boot entry.

Cheers!!!

I'm still hit by -110 error on a 32GB Sandisk Class 4, starting Nemo 2012-04-12.1

Re: U-Boot for Nokia RX-51 with BootMenu (updated version 2012.04)
 
I could need some advice here for selecting custom kernel when backupmenu is installed. When booting with keyboard out only omap1 gets loaded and then backupmenu opens. No Bootmenu where to select anything.

So is there a way to keep backupmenu and pick custom kernels? Btw. I also would like to know how to set the default booting kernel. I would like to have power kernel as default.

Regards,

J4ZZ

Here is new version of script u-boot-update-bootmenu which support specifing first (default) menu entry. Specifing first menu entry is done by creating symlink from menu entry file to /etc/default/bootmenu.item

For example this will configure kernel power v50 as first entry:

Code:
$ ln -sf /etc/bootmenu.d/20-Maemo5-kernel-power-2.6.28.10-power50.item /etc/default/bootmenu.item
$ u-boot-update-bootmenu
Please note that when keyboard is closed, u-boot will always boot attached kernel. This behaviour must be changed in u-boot binary.

Re: U-Boot for Nokia RX-51 with BootMenu (updated version 2012.04)
 
Just tried the above, but in u-boot when I choose attached kernel, again only omap1 gets loaded and after that in boot menu, there's only one option which says Maemo 5 (Internal Nand) and wich again only boots omap1 instead of anything else? *feeling noobish*

What I'm missing? :D

Now you should have in u-boot first entry "Maemo 5 with kernel-power 2.6.28.10-power50". If not, sent me generated file bootmenu.scr from MyDocs

The first pickable options I see from bootmenu are only:

Attached kernel
Internal eMMC
External SD card
U-Boot boot order
U-Boot console

Then when I select "Attached kernel"
Fanoush Boot menu starts with
"Maemo 5 (Internal Nand)"
and
"Power off (when not on charger)" options. That's all I get.

I attached bootmenu.scr :)

This output is default hardcoded into u-boot. And it is fallback if bootmenu.scr cannot be loaded from first eMMC fat32 partition.

So you have problem, that u-boot cannot read bootmenu.scr from that location. But no idea why. Do you have corrupted/resized/reformated/... MyDocs?

Fanoush bootmenu is now irrelevant.

Uhm, your bootmenu.scr does not contains kernel power... This is also strange... I will try to investigate this problem too.

so this is problem why u-boot cannot load it.

you can try to backup all files, then format partition to vfat (fat32) and copy files back.

sorry to sound ******ed but can't seem to do this part


Examples:

This tarball http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pal...12.04-1.tar.gz contains some kernels (stock PR1.3 and stock PR1.3 with framebuffer) and some item files.

For playing & testing download archive to / and unpack it as root:
$ cd / && tar -xf u-boot-images.tar.gz

probably just bieng a fool

Re: U-Boot for Nokia RX-51 with BootMenu (updated version 2012.04)
 
but why is this? Filenames are just fine in WinSCP or Putty when doing ls.

Could this be caused by a restored backup optfs?

Re: U-Boot for Nokia RX-51 with BootMenu (updated version 2012.04)
 
No, it doesn't work that way. Just do as Pali suggested - at best, it will fix Your problem, at worst, it will filter out possible source of issues. U-Boot is just different kind of low-level, when reading required bits - it may work well via filemanager, SCP or whatever, but be too FCKD up for U-Boot. Which seems to be the case - You said already, that for U-Boot directories/filenames are FCKD.

Re: U-Boot for Nokia RX-51 with BootMenu (updated version 2012.04)
 
I found out the reason that causing J4ZZ's problem (and mine). I have (now, had) the same problem too after installing u-boot today for the first time.
The problem is backupmenu. It is creating a .item file in /etc/bootmenu.d/ called backupmenu.item which contains only this line:
Code:
. /usr/share/backupmenu/BackupMenuLauncher.item
u-boot-update-bootmenu can't read this file correctly and then fails while running, throwing some "can't read from /dev/null" error (sorry for not saving the error log :( ).

I fixed it this way: flashed only the kernel, booted maemo, renamed this /etc/bootmenu.d/backupmenu.item file, reflashed u-boot (run dpkg -i u-boot-flasher...) and finally ran u-boot-update-bootmenu again. Now everything works the way it should have worked.

That's the weird part.. I found no reason for it to be there at all. I looked through backupmenu's .deb and install scripts and found nothing related to /etc/bootmenu.d. I have no idea how it got there. I certainly have not copied it there.

It's half way fixed... Proper U-boot menu is now showing omap1-power50 and all the others, but after selecting default entry all I get is "Starting Kernel..."
and then the phone turns off. :mad:

fatls mmc 1:1 / is now displaying correct filenames after backup and mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/MyDocs... and then restoring.

The problem is backupmenu. It is creating a .item file in /etc/bootmenu.d/ called backupmenu.item
sorry, but I cannot confirm that. No such *.item file here. But the problem still exists.
