Okay, for now, iīve got some success.
After having reformattet the SD Card with Ubuntu 10.04, the provided kernel file runs and installs fine (YAYY)
After that, i reboot and use the .item file, but then the device says that there are really several I/O errors ;-(
Makes me kinda sad i cannot use your Project ;-(
Well, then i have to wait until you find a fix or i wait for something else ;-D
nontheless, thank you for your support

I've followed the tutorial on Post 1 letter by letter exactly.

I actually SSH'd into my n900 and copy pasted every line.

When i turn on my n900 i get the Multiboot screen with the options of:
1. Maemo
2. NITDroid

So i press Q/1 and it boots into Maemo. It works fine.

If i press W/2 it starts to boot into Android. It shows loads of things loading, says "A N D R O I D" and other things. Then it sticks on a black screen with a flashing (i think) cursor.
I've been patient and left it for 5 minutes or so but it does nothing.

Could somebody help me by telling me some things to type into xterminal that would check if everything is ok ?

Do you also use a 4GB Sandisk Micro SDHC ?
For me, it was the main reason i couldnīt boot into Android.

bzip2 -d NITDroid-N900-the-flying-world.tbz2
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
cd /and
rm -rf *
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-N900-the-flying-world.tar


Android can boot now. I did a full reflash including flashing the eMMC. I reinstalled everything, followed your tutorial and did each step. Unfortunately, I still got these reboots because of the battery (red led flashing, and device shutting down).
If you have other ideas, it would be great :D If not, then, I don't know what I'm gonna do haha.
Thank you very much for your help!!
