I have gotten backupmenu to start from u-boot without needing r&d mode nor repartitioning and without complex instructions this time.. so forget the complex instructions at http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=882 new instructions: download the zip archive from http://ifile.it/d3ehfn2 (5.8 MB) extract the contents of the archive to the first partition of your sdcard (fat32). shutdown, then start again and let u-boot timer time out. thats all ! can't get any easier --------------------------------------------------------------------------- notes (normally not needed): 1)backupmenu disk gets loaded as an initrd and backupmenu runs from the ram, so configuring network interfaces by modifying backupmenu directly is not possible.(well it is possible but it won't be saved when you reboot) instead place a file called interfaces, containing your network configuration on the first partition of the sdcard, backupmenu will use that instead. 2)if you already have a boot.scr file on the first partition of your sdcard, rename the one from the archive to backupmenu.scr u-boot will normally load your original boot.scr file, and when you want to run backupmenu, there are 2 solutions: a)sane solution: rename your boot.scr to something else and rename backupmenu.scr to boot.scr and start the device. b)crazy solution: interrupt the u-boot timer and write the following : Code: mmc init fatload mmc1 0 0x80000400 backupmenu.scr source 0x80000400 you will have to type that blazingly fast though if you haven't enabled r&d mode and set no-omap-wd r&d flag.
