Moreover with my freshly flashed n800 with OS2008 I was not able to install e2fsprogs.
Double check it. I had to make the partitions using my Linux box.

Also, after the step to unmount MMC2, whenever I try to partition it (by means of sfdisk), the tablet was always detecting and mounting back the MMC.
Thanks! I added this step to get bzip2 loaded:

# apt-get install bzip

I didn't have the trouble you describe with e2fsprogs and have not been able to reproduce it. When I have time I'll start from scratch again and see what happens.

I also had trouble with the new linux partition auto mounting, but only after rebooting. That's why I included the steps to unmount after reboots when necessary. After I added those steps I had no trouble. It's interesting that your partition auto mounted even before you rebooted (if I read your post correctly).
