Instructions on how to do that are here. This will leave you with two installations on your N900, Maemo on the system memory and MeeGo on the SD card. It's not fully dual boot as it requires a computer to load the MeeGo kernel every time you want to use it, but it does mean that the Maemo install stays clean and useable.

Yeah that link tells you how to install an image onto the SD, but not how to build one. The only public image available is limited to say the least, the link I posted shows you how to build an image complete with the UX (not that it does very much at the moment anyway).

I am having trouble getting the kernel flashed, trying it from an Ubuntu 10.4 install.

anthonie@anthonie-laptop:~$ sudo ./flasher-3.5 -l -b -k meego-handset-armv5tel-n900-nokia-proprietary-1.0.80.13.20100803.2-mmcblk0p.raw
flasher v2.5.2 (Oct 21 2009)

USB device found found at bus 001, device address 013.
Found device RX-51, hardware revision 2204

Anyone in the know that could give me some pointers?

you did wrong command in the flasher or you you installed kernel as rootfs

I don't get it. I have done all the steps as described in the wiki page mentioned above in this thread. Put the SD card in my laptop, dd'd the raw image over to the card, taken it out and put it in the N900.

After that the command given as pasted above, outcome is the same.

The SD card that I used is a 4 gig Micro SD, with EXT3 fs on it. If the given command would be wrong, I suppose I'd get an error message, right?

all installation works fine! but when i boot to meego i get a dos like screen on the n900 when trying to boot up meego, saying someting about partitions, and on another row something about "panic kernel"

After some time it quits and the n900 is shut down.

What am i doing wrong here? I have formatted the card in ext3 before writing the raw image to it. then insert in the n900, connect the usb holding U and flashed the kernel. after that i get that message about panic and stuff.... its like he cant read the proper data from the sd card.
