first of all, thanks for this work. I run in the same problem like alexey. I try to install ubuntu on the external card on a N810. Sometimes the installing breaks with a reboot sometimes with errors. But every time the boot process stops after displaying the message "pivot root and starting /sbin/init." And nothing happens.

I know the problem with the external and internal card for the fstab, but what should be in the fstab starting the boot process.
I have nothing on the internal card, external a fat on p1, ext3 on p2 and swap on p3.

Could you help me?

Thanks,

You should have the following in /etc/fstab (assuming your external mmc is mmcblk1):

Code:
rootfs  /       rootfs  defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime,nodiratime   0	1
proc    /proc   proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/mtdblock4  /mnt/rootfs     jffs2 defaults  0       0
/dev/mmcblk1p3  swap  swap	defaults	0	0
/dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/mmc1	vfat defaults	0	0

And also make shure you have the following in your bootmenu item;

Code:
ITEM_NAME="Ubuntu on mmcblk1p2"
ITEM_ID="Ubuntu on mmcblk1p2"
ITEM_DEVICE="mmcblk1p2"
ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"
ITEM_FSOPTIONS="noatime,ro"
ITEM_LINUXRC="linuxrc"
I hope this helps
