You don't need to copy uImage anywhere if you configure uboot to look under /boot for it, like you've already done. Good luck.
I changed to ${EXT_CARD}p5
but init=/bin/systemd was right, (writing mistake )


I did the fixes you told me to do, But when you boot to Arch
U-boot says
Code:
mmc0 is current device 
** Bad partition 5 **
after this when I run
Code:
run emmcboot
I have a Kernel Panic
Code:
Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount rootfs on unknown-block(179,5)
(this is one of the lines)

btw : I tried multiple versions of u-boot with no luck
current version is "2012.04-2"
Also tried version "2012.10-rc3-1"

NOTE: when Kernel Panic happens, N900 can't be powered off using power button, you have to remove the battery which is bad
and also chroot worked fine, I tried doing pacman -Suy and it worked

I think I'm missing some part of U-boot boot, but I don't know what is it

Thanks in advance.
