It looks like you are trying to flash the eMMC image first. As this flashing requires Maemo to boot, you have to flash the normal (FIASCO) image with the rootfs + kernel first. After you have flashed the rootfs + kernel, you can then flash the eMMC (flashing the eMMC will boot the kernel/system into some "flashing" mode, as indicated by the message quoted above).

Here's how you do it:
  • Flash the FIASCO image (rootfs + kernel)
  • Flash the eMMC image (but read below for a warning!)
  • ...
  • PROFIT!!!

Please be aware that flashing the eMMC image removes all your data from the internal flash (i.e. the ~ 32 GB VFAT partition). If you did not modify the internal flash partitioning, you can skip flashing the eMMC and only flash the rootfs / kernel.

If you only overwrote the Maemo kernel with the Meego kernel, you can even only flash the kernel from the FIASCO image alone without even touching the rootfs, thereby retaining (and restoring access to) your previously installed Maemo 5 system.

Try only flashing the kernel first, and then restart to see if your system comes back to life:

HTH.
