yes, that's how it works, just set root device to mmc2

I want to reduce the default waiting time for the countdown, anyone know of a way to do this? Also, it says to hold down MENU key... which one is it? I've held down all the key individually and none of them give me any advanced options...

Fanoush is the expert here but...

1. I think you need to edit the timeout value in /mnt/initfs/bootmenu.sh

2. "hold down the MENU key" - not sure why that message appears, I don't think it means anything as their is only one menu which appears automatically

See the readme, create your own bootmenu.conf, see the examples and edit MENU_TIMEOUT.

If you set the root device to include 'ask' like 'ask:mmc2' the boot menu appears always, no need to press menu key. If there is no 'ask' it boots straight from the mmc2 without showing the menu unless you press and hold the menu key.

Unfortunately the bootmenu script cannot read root device so early in startup sequence so the message is always shown. At the time when root device is already known (and script can check for 'ask') it is already too late to show the message only if 'ask' is not there. You wouldn't be fast enough to press and hold the key.

Maybe instead of making the timeout shorter you want to skip the menu at all? Then just remove ask from root device. See

How can I uninstall the 770 boot loader bzw set the 770 to system default ? The Nokia Flashing Software does not find the 770 with the 2007HE Firmware.

Thanks, fanoush!

Hello colleges,

I have some strange problems with booting from my 4GB MMC

I make it work one time before 2 mounts but now I try to make it and I don't know but no luck.

I make everything like in how to
1.Make boot menu
2.mount everything
3.copy in tar-temp with dpkg
4.Download GNU tar (i check with /tar-temp/bin/tar --version)
5.Then clone system but ....i get this at end
tar-temp/bin/tar: .: implausibly old time stamp 1970-01-01 01:00:00
6.I change my bootmenu.sh to use MMC1 (external card)

Then when boot everything look fins but when i see the NOKIA logo start booting and when go middle loading I see the mouse and when finish boot my theme is all gray and very very simple and not good looking then when i try to change it frees and reboot.When stay 2-3 min reboot again

The stupid thing is I make it work one time and now don't work and I am very mad.

My fist partition is 100000 --> fat 16
Boot os 100001 ---> ext2 --> 750 MB

Is have some problems with too big partitions or something like this i make all this procedure maybe 3 -4 times but every time i get this GREY theme and then REBOOT
Thank you for helping .

Greetings

This time stamp warning is OK.
Just an idea - make sure you use correct tar on both sides of the pipeline (.. | ..). It is hard to guess without details what you did and how.

Yes i work with Linux for long time and I now
I use the original MAEMO how-to
But i thing it comes maybe from partitions because last time I do it I think (can't remember write now) but i use only 1G for fat16 + ext2 but I am not sure about that.
# apt-get -d install tar
# cd /var/cache/apt/archives/
# mkdir /tar-temp/
# dpkg -x tar*.deb /tar-temp/
Nokia-N800-26:/var/cache/apt/archives/tar-temp# bin/tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.14
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

# /tar-temp/bin/tar cf - -C /floppy . | /tar-temp/bin/tar xvf - -C /opt

I don't know what to do i read so many things in internet but no use.
