I have no idea what you are talking about? Dont know what clonegk is.

Can you please be more specific as to what you are doing and how you are doing it?

clonegk is just a collection of packages GeraldKo put together. (It can be used to setup the boot options again after using your package.)

From step 5 of HOW TO: Simplest and Complete Cloning of OS to MMC; Dual-Booting

"Navigate to, and open, clonegk, within Documents.
E. Click, or double-click, becomeroot. Install? OK. Not from Nokia, continue anyway? OK.
F. Return to File Manager, leaving Application Manager open. Install these files from clonegk in the following order: e2fslibs, libblkid, libcomerr, libss, libuuid, e2fsprogs"

I cloned my OS 2008 using your deb, flashed with OS 2007, used step 4,5,6, 8 from the thread linked to above, and can now choose between booting into OS 2007 installed on Flash memory, or OS 2008 installed on a 8GB SD card.

I'm doing fresh installs of everything as something may have disagreed with the OS 2008 cloning (kernel rotation installed, etc.).

Update: Nope. After cloning a fresh OS 2008 to SD card, I can connect to my router after booting from the card. Flashing the internal memory with OS 2007 let's me connect to my router. But after reinstalling the boot loader and booting into OS 2008 on the card I cannot connect to my router and sound no longer works.

Too bad. It would be neat to dual boot OS 2007 and OS 2008 for some of us.

Well, I think I found my problem.... I tried a low level format as suggested, but it did exactly the same thing. It installed, booted once or twice, and then failed to reboot. I read the list of approved cards, but I do not own any of those cards, so I was using what I had. Actually, I tried two different cards, to no avail. Out of desperation, I tried a third card and SO FAR, everything seems good. I installed to the third card and have been running for over a day with no problem (knock on wood). I'll post in a few days and let you know how it's going. So a message to all "dual booters" -- memory cards are not created equal!

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

is the post I referred to. It lists about 8 or so cards that have been used with success. The cards that did NOT work correctly were:

a 4 GB connect 3d secure data card
a 2 GB pqi card

I am now using a 4 GB RiData SDHC card with success.

I posted here because it was here that I posted my failure to use the 'easy' cloning procedure in the first post. Apparently some cards will not work even with a "low level format". It would be nice if there were a predictor for which cards might/might not work, but I'm not sure such a thing is possible.

I honestly have only tested my deb on my cards, and I always buy kingston, because I thnk they are good quality. That said unless the card just does not function inside the hardware, I would think that the cards could be used with my deb.

If you have a card thats not working, install the deb and post the failure.

Is this the post you are referring to? Because it was not in this thread, thats why I was confused?

Then, when I reboot, I get "failed to boot from immc2, booting from flash", and then the unit boots from the original flash. I'd appreciate any advice on how to debug or fix this.

And by the way, the answer to the problem here ^

Just to reinstall the deb 1 more time. It tried to copy the data but it needed a reboot first.

hey this might have been gone over before but I was wondering if I could set up my N810 to boot from the interal card I some times change out my external card since I don't have an 8GB one yet. This way I could have atleast 2GB for my OS and software.

On 810

install-tools.deb will install to internal 2GB

install-tools-N810e.deb will install to external card

I have downloaded install-tools to flash several times but Application manager complains that the file is corrupted with 0kb. File manager says it is 4.8MB. The log states that it is not a debian format archive.
