I have added a tutorial for getting this to run on Beagleboard. No hassle or fuss.. Images too.

It runs on BB, so now we are trying to get it work on N900, yes

See previous page(s) of this thread.

Running on Beagle for now.
I am going to "TRY" run it on N900 this weekend. But I do not have a clue where to start.
I still use Multiboot (

I feel like I'm in the stone age compared to uboot users) and this starts using uboot

No, it is not.
Just found this script

Bit it is for BeagleBoard:

Is there someone with Meego on the SD?
Is there boot.scr or *.cmd?

The uboot loader on the n900 kernel does'nt use a boot.scr
to load meego.
It searches for a uImage on the sdcard (only the third partition
and only if it is a FAT-partition).

What I tried:
- write the AI- sdcard image on a sdcard
- changed the type of the third partition from swapt to FAT
- copy all files from the first partition to the third
- reboot the device
Now, if you let the uboot timer timeout, it tries to load the uimage
from the sdcard.
It can load the kernel (2.6.32)
But starting the kernel fails (the device just turns off).

Yes, there is also

Unable to read "uImage" on mmc 0:3

(or 3:0)
right after

Unable to read "boot.scr" on mmc 0:1

Trying to make another uImage by this tutorial (on Ubuntu 10.04 and for PR1.3):
http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Insta...t_from_scratch

Code:

wget http://repository.maemo.org/pool/mae...+0m5_armel.deb -P /tmp
cd /tmp && dpkg-deb -x kernel_2.6.28-*_armel.deb maemo_kernel
flasher-3.5 -F maemo_kernel/boot/zImage-2.6.28-*.fiasco -u
sudo apt-get install uboot-mkimage
mkimage  -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 80008000 -e 80008000 -n meego -d zImage uImage

Flasher can be downloaded from
