Has anyone else experienced this kind of behavior?

hmm... iwhen removing "extra stuff" the shell text says "extracting boot menu files for initfs version osso-RX-44.2007-49..." Should that be 2008?

Thanks

No 2007 is correct but the newest OS is 50-2 not 49-18/19.

I've flashed my N810 after the OS2008 50-2 upgrade and the only way to get it to boot from my new clone was to add the bootmenu.conf file to the init_flasher directory and then rerun/rebuild ( # ./initfs_flash ).

There are some samples included in the init_flasher tarball for the 770 & 800. There appears to be a bug in the 810s find out more here.

Here's what my bootmenu.conf looks like:
Code:
# bootmenu customisation file
#
# included from bootmenu.sh after default menu is defined
# you can change some items or redefine menu completely

# timeout for automatic selection when no key is pressed
# set to -1 for no timeout (not recommended, can drain battery when device reboots unatteded)
MENU_TIMEOUT=3

# IP address for USB networking
USB_IP=192.168.1.2

# dim screen when in menu
#/usr/sbin/dsmetest -l 1

# menu items
MENU_MIN=1 # first item index

#no need to redefine
#MENU_1_NAME="Internal flash"
#MENU_1_ID="flash"

MENU_2_NAME="Internal MMC, partition 2, ext2"
MENU_2_ID="mmc2"
MENU_2_DEVICE="mmcblk1p2"
MENU_2_MODULES="mbcache ext2"
MENU_2_FSTYPE="ext2"
MENU_2_FSOPTIONS="noatime"

MENU_3_NAME="External MMC card, partition 2, ext3"
MENU_3_ID="mmc12"
MENU_3_DEVICE="mmcblk0p2"
MENU_3_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3"
MENU_3_FSTYPE="ext3"
MENU_3_FSOPTIONS="noatime" #",data=writeback"

MENU_4_NAME="Power off (when not on charger)"
MENU_4_ID="off"

#last item index, change if you add/remove items
MENU_MAX=4
