First off: Everyone calm down. I made a couple mistakes in my instructions(in addition to just copy-pasting it from my previous post; hence the wrong date) - It was 4AM! Second, I suggest no one else restore until I figure out what went wrong with Dany's restore. No need to shout! I actually talked about that in my previous post; I guess I might as well. First, can you open up your rootfs backup file and copy out the "tarstatus" file for me? If its not empty, post the contents here. This is incredibly troubling. Here's why: When you do a restore, I have it rm -rf the entire rootfs first. If BackupMenu still starts, that means that (most) of the files -were- restored, and its able to boot off the RootFS. If maemo -won't- boot though, the question is why not? I'm going to go check on my own; keep your fingers crossed.
