Well, I've never said it boots to hildon-desktop correctly . Actually it fails early in "getbootstate" but that is not the point. I am booting Maemo, because it has syslogd enabled, and now I have nice looking -110 errors in syslog, plus hsmmc driver debug messages . It is just much easier for me to boot Maemo and try to capture some useful data re SD/eMMC =110 failures, than fight Ubuntu or Nemo
