I guess I will just have to wait for the autoinstaller to be updated.
Please dont, we will take you thru'

1st, start from the beginning. Get a SD card you can affort to be erased. Got it? Ok, assume it is the 2G card you are talkin about,

Type exactly the following, do me a favor, double check all typing before hitting the enter, as fixing a mistake usually takes more time for the diagnosis and whatnot,

bootup maemo
take care the repository, enable extras-devel etc...

xterm
sudo gainroot
umount /media/mmc1
sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
,100,C
,,L
,,
,,
EOF


(wait for it to do partitions... )
...
Re-reading the partition table ...

reboot
xterm
cat /proc/partitions
looks like this,

........mmcblk0
..100 mmcblk0p1
........mmcblk0p2
...

proceed from Installation on thread#1

good luck,

bun
