Hi There,
I am trying to repartition my n900 to use the SD Card instead of mmy corrupted EMMC.
See: http://wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning..._compatible.29
But I am stuck in this step "unit: sectors
/dev/mmcblk0p1 : start= 64, size= 4194304 , Id=c
/dev/mmcblk0p2 : start= 4194368, size= 56631296, Id=83
/dev/mmcblk0p3 : start= 60825664, size= 1572864, Id=82
/dev/mmcblk0p4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
Save the above code as a plain text file (eg. as table)on your N900. Use Id=c for MyDocs (FAT), 83 for EXT partitions and 82 for swap partition.
"
The question... How Can i save this text file on my N900 while my EMMC Is corrupted?
Please Help me with this solution
Another question... In this step "-Open /etc/event.d/rcS-late, find the line '-f /usr/lib/genfstab.awk > $tmp_fstab' and add this below it

echo "/dev/mmcblk1p1 /home ext3 rw,noatime,errors=continue,commit=1,data=writeback 0 0" >> $tmp_fstab
echo "/home/opt /opt none bind" >> $tmp_fstab
"
i add this line below by entering "enter" or i should do another thing?
Sorry for annoying
Thx In Advance

Since your eMMC isn't working. I think this is the point at which you should stop. If you have successfully executed the previous instructions, then you should now be using the SD card.

Another question... In this step "-Open /etc/event.d/rcS-late, find the line '-f /usr/lib/genfstab.awk > $tmp_fstab' and add this below it

echo "/dev/mmcblk1p1 /home ext3 rw,noatime,errors=continue,commit=1,data=writeback 0 0" >> $tmp_fstab
echo "/home/opt /opt none bind" >> $tmp_fstab

Yes, that should be fine.

Why you can't use GParted live CD to repartiton the SD (as well as the eMMC, but...) under BackupMenu, or with a card reader? its way easier.

Here are the basic steps to achieve your setup http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=933228&postcount=8
