Thus, through Ubuntu Live, I see the partition "mer" as mmcblk0p1.

Afterwards, boot from N900, appears: "Booting from mer (mmcblk1p1 ext3)..." Which should have nothing wrong because the mmcblk0 in this case should be the internal EMMC and sd should become mmcblk1

However I did not copy the kernel modules from /lib/modules .. The guide that i followed didn't say me to do that... .. Should i ?
Sorry if couldn't reply sooner - i was busy all day yesterday

I'd recommend that you copy the kernel modules to your mer partition

Also, just as a future reference, you can use the on-device partition/format memory card steps from my Ubuntu Jaunty Guide which should make things a bit faster and easier to understand.
