Can't boot MMC2
 
I can no longer boot from MMC2. The Nokia splash logo appears with "Booting from mmc2... " at the top, but the system just hangs. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

You could try re-installing just the boot menu with Penguinbait's PB or PBEASY command. See the try-here-first link in my dual-boot links below.

The SD maybe corrupts. That's is why we should backup or clone the SD once a while.

Here is a script I use for various tasks. It is a collection of many howtos here. (IMPORTANT: to clone mmc1 to mcc2 and vice versa you need to partition and format the SD before running the script otherwise the /opt will not be mounted and as a result you will run out of space! Do not use the script if you don't understand it!)

It has to run under root.

To clone SDs ( mmc2 to mmc1 or vice versa) you should run the script from flash.

If the SSD is corrupt, is the N810 dead?

Not SSD (Solid-State Drive), SD (Secure Digital). nhanquy was suggesting your flash memory card may be corrupted. The tablets do not contain solid-state drives.

Is it ext2?

if so

boot to flash, run as root from xterm

fsck -y /dev/mmcblk0p2 or (1p2) depending setup

See if that fixes it?

PB: That command has no impact if the SD card is ext3?

fsck is actually universal. It in turn will call fsck.ext2, or fsck.ext3 ....
Therefore, it is transparent to us, users.
So the command is still valid to ext3.

Re: Can't boot MMC2
 
Well I asked if it was ext2? Geraldko?? Read the first sentence of the quote, you quoted?

And yes it will still fsck a ext3 volume, but it is un-needed as ext3 will use the journal and straighten itself out on boot.

That worked perfectly. Thanks a lot.
