Hi guys,

I have been following

http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Install/Dual_Boot

and seem to be stuck at the uboot / bootm stage.
I have set the MMC (micro-SDHC 16GB) up by formatting it in the N900 (maemo) file manager. I had the card previously formatted in the ubuntu 10.10 disk manager with MBR option.

I dd'd the bz2'd raw image onto the card, got uboot-pr13 running without mmc.

When I put the mmc back in, restarted the phone, uboot wouldn't boot from the mmc. The error was gone too fast to make sense of it so I rebooted from Maemo and interrupted the boot process.

then I manually selected:

"run mmcboot"
booting from mmc...
wrong image formate for bootm command
ERROR: can't get kernel image!

what filesystem / partition table type does the bootm expect?
Can someone who's got this working perhaps provide a print out of their memory card's "fdisk" - [p]rint output? What else could/should I check?

Thanks guys for any help in advance.

--EDIT--
I know, this is a long shot - but in the beagleboard project, a mmc is used with uboot/bootm as well and there they recommend that a specific geometry be used for the mmc:

would this apply here as well?
