i tried both mmcblk0p4 and [INT_CARD]p4 with the sd card in and out but it just wouldn't boot
is it due to the fact that multiboot doesn't believe in a fourth internal partition or is it something else
please help
What error do you get? it's not multiboot 'faith in fourth internal partition' problem definitely

Try {INT_CARD}p4, not [INT_CARD]p4 (wrong brackets ). What is the error you're experiencing? Does it show something on the screen?

could you write here:
- the contents of your .item file for ubuntu
- the result of commands "ls -l /boot" and "ls -l /boot/multiboot" and "ls -l /lib/modules"
- the result of command "ls /dev/mmcblk*"
It will give us who want to help some important information
