Note that it said "immc2" and not "mmc2" So I did chroot again inserting "--set-root-device ask:immc2" and guess what? Now it boots from my internal card just as it did before the Diablo update. :) If I'm an idiot, I apologize, but I don't remember seeing immc2 in the wiki or postings. Is this part of the Diablo update? |
Re: step by step: boot menu for newbies
So I updated my flash partition with the latest SSU without problems and when I tried it on the mmc2 partition, I got "update error" -yet i didn't do anything to fix this.
I then tried to update my bootmenu and did so successfully a couple of times yet each time I try to boot into mmc2, the tablet tries but then finaly boots into flash. I think I messed up bad the first time I flashed the bootmenu as I tried to reflash a bootmenu.conf I saved from pre-SSU. I do have a backup of the mmc2 partition but would really appreciate not having to reclone the Os. Any ideas of what I can do? |

It's a modified initfs image that makes booting from sources other than the internal flash (like an SD card) easier and allows you to boot into a recovery mode. |
