Okay some help here please. I am not sure where I am going wrong but am unable to get the bootmenu to run the mmc2 debian partition. It errors out saying unable to boot from ext2 and booting from flash.

First I have an 8GB internal SD card that is mounted under my flash os as follows:
/dev/mmcblk0p2 -> /extfs
/dev/mmcblk0p1 -> /mmc2

I have the /usr/share linked to /extfs/share/ to save room on the flash

I ran Fanoush's modified initfs which seems to have installed okay. I didn't clone the flash system as the first two steps:
# insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/2.6.18-omap1/mbcache.ko
# insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/2.6.18-omap1/ext2.ko
failed and I want the debian and not the flash os.

I then tar -xvf debian-armel-n800-beta2.tar -C /initfs/
as root under the gainroot terminal and this seemed to complete with no errors.

I reboot and initfs fails to boot the ext2 debian partition. Any ideas?
Thank you.
