Start App Mugger. Go Tools -> Log... -> Save as.
(If you haven't tried this install yet, you might go there now and clear it; then if the install fails, it won't have any extraneous data...)

ok I solved it. So for all you n810 owners. Under control panel, memory disable virtual memory. This locks the internal memory card. Then format the internal memory card. After fist install it will tell you that it can't install. Then reboot and run again. Then everything works as a sharm.

No. As I said, it just said 'Coulnt' install'.

I rebooted manually. Nothing happened.

I will try installing again now after a reboot.

Nope.

Ahh - ok, it says the SD card is in use. I don't know what by as it is just started.
lsof | grep mmc2
says nothing

Thanks. I had come back to the computer after trying it and hadn't hit refresh on the page to see those posts, sorry.

Everything seems to be working now. The sizes of the partitions wasn't as you said though (though close enough), not that it matters that much.

I will go and investigate fanoush's page to see if there is a way to stop the requirement to select a boot device! It is a bit of a pain on an 810 when you have to slide the keyboard out to select.

you can change the boot default device from the command line.
chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:mmc2
chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:flash
chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:mmc12


But the 30 second timeout will have to be changed by reinstalling bootmenu. sorry,

download the initfs flasher
cp /mnt/initfs/bootmenu.conf into initfs_flasher
edit bootment timeout
install initfs
reboot done

what size partitions do you have, what card ??

Hay penguindait!, i wasn't abele to install kde but i was abele to install your new "clone os to SD deb" and it works pritty good! :D :D :D especially my 1.3gb system free space. :)

the only real problem i am having is that i was foolish enough to try to create some vurtual memory and now every time i turn it on it says "vurtual memory is corrupt" and i can't remove it. Is there a way of fixing this problem?

enywase, thank you for your help and for theas great deb's! ;)

p.s. i'm booting from mmc2
