Nemo should well support ext2fs, I have not tried it but I would be really surprised if it did not. That would be actually quite hilarious :D

What Nemo does not support out-of-the-box is exfat, but adding support to that in Nemo kernel is minimal work.
(after all Nemo kernel is pretty much same as ubiboot kernel and that supports exfat...)

Well, that mostly concerns if you want to mount your MyDocs to some windows-computer.

That should be solved due to
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86662

using Ext2fsd v0.51 or even better to Windows8 (perhaps?)
Paragon_ExtFS_for_Windows_2.41.exe

My concern is if in future be able to use Nemo, Sailfish and maybe even NITDroid, Firefox if call and camera issues should be solved. Then if not ext2,3,4 can be used both the 16GB and the 64GB version could bee too small, I think (same rootfs 4GB)?

Right now have 16GB but possible to buy a 64GB rather cheap, but without use of ext it doesn't matter - don't need all that MyDocs space for music and pictures etc!

All of those should well understand ext4fs, no problem there. The only problems are with Nitdroid and that only as it stupidly assumes that the SDCARD mount (which is MyDocs) needs to be vfat.
(it's not that it would not understand ext4fs, it's just some silly setting/script that wants it to be vfat)

That should be easily corrected by somebody who knows android.

But must be something e-yes has made because no problem using ext4 on Android - have done so since long at HTC Desire (only 512MB internal memory) with diff Android versions latest Jelly Bean 4.2.2.!?

@juiceme would you like to make some pseudo-terminal in ubiboot? and maybe some self-configuration which searches for kernels in boot folders and enables it? or harmattan configuration gui?

about ext4 and nitdroid: https://www.google.ru/search?q=android+ext4+sd+card

Yes, I already have "sillykbd" which is a simple touchscreen keyboard utility. It souldn't be too difficult to tie that into a TTY for a simple console...

Yes, that'd also be possible. I'll have to look into that.

According to the logs it looks pretty good, no warnings up to that point.
You tried loading zImage-2.6.32.61-plus_20131030, zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fixand zImage.
Were any of those successiful?
Did you make any other changes, to kernel locations etc. when you updated ubiboot version?

TMavica 2013-10-30 21:49

No
Kernel location in /boot/, just got black screen when select kernel

Well, ubiboot could find & load the kernels OK, that's clear from the log. Next step is the kexec() after which it is the 2nd stage kernel that is in charge of things, not ubiboot any longer.

Usually when the kernel loads OK but fails to boot there are 2 possible easy faults (and some more difficult)
The easy ones are, either something wrong with modules, or something wrong with init.

Assuming you have booted the same kernels before with earlier version of ubiboot, then the modules must be correct.

Can you check from your ubibot.conf that the preinit for harmattan is correct? It should propably be:
G_OS2_INITSCRIPT="\/sbin\/preinit_harmattan"
And check that you have /sbin/preinit_harmattan there and that it is executable.
(BTW, did you change your preinit or are you using the same as before?)
