Thanks for trusting me to take you thru the MMC boot process. I will be more than happy to do it as someone in the past took me thru. I got it from the forum and would like to give it back to the forum. I have now added my AIM contact, it is the yellow little walking man on the right upper corner. Add me to your buddy, and check whether I am around. If so, we will look at it together and get your MMC boot done.

It is OK to PM/email me. But please do NOT send me pages and pages of what you have "attempted but failed",

1) If I am not around to read the PM messages, it takes only 2 of a very large PM message to bomb my PM box full and prevent me from receiving future PM message, and naturally I would not be happy, right?

2) The more you wrote, the more I have to read and frankly they are NOT very important and I am NOT interested. I am interested to take you thru, but not pouring thru pages and pages of attemps, and the bottomline, I probably do not have the answer.

3) It is a lot easier to answer Qs one at a time when you ask. To answer several Qs embedded in pages and pages, I have to edit, correct, format, you name it...........it just easier for both of us.

4) I have answered every PMs/emails I can in the last 48 hrs whether it is useful or not is a different subject. if you do not hear from me, check your PM/email box and clear your box (you send me a large message, when I click the reply button, your box will then be full). I do NOT want to hear something like bun is arrogant and ignore PM/emails etc. I restate, I have been responsive to your request in a timely manner.

Finally, the MMC boot is tricky, but it can be done, I know nothing about Linux. Absolutely nothing, but I have done it from 770, N800 and now N810 thru 2006Os, 2007He and now 2008Os with helps from this forum.

I am using Milhouse's script because 1) I am very familiar with it 2) it is 100% handsoff, automated, 3) on repeat, you ONLY have to type one command ./nupgrade.sh - optional parameter, no need for redl, re-satisfy with prerequeisit.

Can this be done without a boot menu.

Is there a way for me to config my tablet to boot from the internal memory as default.

Also when I flash my system I would like to flash to my internal memory.

Thanks.

I only know how to do with a boot menu. Anyone?

Yes. this should make you boot from the internal memory as default, assume you already able to boot from internal memory, on N810,

sudo gainroot
chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:mmc2

post back if questions/results

You can do
with no bootmenu installed and it will boot from first ext2/ext3 partition that contains /sbin/init. If none is found it fails back to internal flash.

But you need root access in terminal to run this and if you manage to get so far you might as well install bootmenu for better control.

@Fanoush: Is there anything you do not know about the tablet? You know the tablet IN and OUT.

Thanks.
