Is your Arch partition mounted, in Maemo? What does this command output? (You don’t need to chroot.)

Code:

mount | grep p5

Personally, I’m happy with Arch on µSD, it is easier to troubleshoot and play with. If you still have a swap partition/file on your EMMC, you could use it from Arch to improve performance.

Anyway, would you mind changing your config line to this?

Code:

ITEM_CMDLINE="root=/dev/mmcblk1p5 rootwait init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd omapfb.vram=0:3M,1:3M,2:3M"

Dunno if it helps.
