Hello. I have searched everywhere but cannot get the correct instructions for what im looking for. I wanna install Meego Summer edition on my n900. i only have the 32gb emmc but not the microsd card. i would like to dual boot meego and maemo from the internal emmc. is there a way? and i heard that i cant do it from a windows machine? i have a windows laptop and wanna dual boot meego and maemo from the emmc. help would be highly appreciated as i really really wanna install meego.
thanks in advance.

On this page it says "eMMC installation is not possible using a windows machine"

If you're so desperate to get Meego on your eMMC, why not use a Live CD?

You could by creating your own uboot image and point it to /dev/mmcblk0p* instead but I doubt you can do that since it's mostly kernel stuff etc.

Sorry but what jedi pointed is just a tutorial for booting meego on EMMC but it will not dual boot maemo as it will overwrite maemo's kernel.


What I mean was you need to download the uboot source code, modify it to use another partition for meego(default is /dev/mmcblk1) recompile it and append it to a maemo kernel.

Instructions for compiling uboot and integrating it to a kernel is here
https://elektranox.org/n900/kernel/uboot.html

But that doesn't cover up on modifying uboot. As for a tutorial I don't have any and I can't make one also as I have never tried compiling one its just I have already looked up the sources of uboot so I know what I'm talking

BTW I also have read sometime ago it is also possible to modify uboot's path by creating a little fat partition on MMC and putting a file which I forgot the name (*flags) although I dont think its an option to you ask you dont have memory card as you said.
