ivyking, I'm very exicted that you got Ubuntu 10.10 working. I hope you can help me...

I've dd'ed the omap3 image to my SD card (resulting in a fat partition and a ext3 partition, the last one with the ubuntu files).

I've installed bootmenu-n900 and created some entries for booting from both the fat partition and the ext3 partition, but nothing happens (it just shows the white "booting from..." screen for a while, and then restarts).

What else do I need to do make it boot Ubuntu?

hi decibyte,
quick shot: have a look at the watchdog config(/etc/watchdog.conf).

and have the two watchdog drivers loaded(if you have them as separate modules) .

I have the same error, although i use the omap+armel image!
It should be compiled for arm?

Woah! I managed to boot Ubuntu 10.10. Photo of happy and surprised me and my Ubuntu N900:



Well... I'm not able to log in. Touchscreen and keyboard doesn't work. I'll have to find out how to get them to work after I get something to eat. Any help will be appreciated.

I roughly followed MohammadAG's guide, but with some changes:

First, I installed the bootmenu-n900 package.

Instead of 1-4, I put my SD card in my laptop, downloaded the ubuntu netbook armel omap3 image and dd'ed it to the card. Resulting in 2 partitions on the card.

I followed 5-6 as it says, except that I used adduser instead of useradd, and I didnt copy the file gnome-terminal.desktop

address 10.42.43.10
network 10.42.43.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 10.42.43.255
gateway 10.42.43.1
I'm confused... Should this be added to /etc/network/interfaces on the phone ubuntu or the pc ubuntu?

you need it on both. manually:
on the pc:
Code:
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.0.200
netmask 255.255.255.0
on the phone:

Code:
auto usb0
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.0.201
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.200
change the ip to what suits you and use the pc's ip as gateway.

and then you pull the interface on both machines up with
Code:
# ifup usb0
finally you need the g_nokia loaded on the phone and on the pc the rsp. gadget driver(eg: cdc_ether, g_ether, cdc_xxx).

you can put it into rc.local if you have no keyboard.
like that:
modprobe g_nokia

some complain about usless use of cat
Code:
# wget http....
# gzip -d  ubuntu-xxx.gz  
# mkdir -p /mnt/p1 
# mkdir -p /mnt/p2 
# losetup -o$((63*512)) /dev/loop1 ubuntuxxx
# losetup -o$((144585*512)) /dev/loop2  ubuntuxxx
# mount /dev/loop1 /mnt/p1
# mount /dev/loop2 /mnt/p2
mounted...

[EDIT: note: i try to get a working kernel... soo that means i don't claim that ubuntu is working out of the box - rather not. esp. i don't think that part. image you picked works with the maemo-omap1 kernel . but you can try and ...]

You'll have to (move the card to the phone, obviously, and) mount it manually afterwards. I created directory /mnt/ubuntu and mount it there:

Code:
sudo mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /mnt/ubuntu
I hope that helps
