After the initial install (which turned out be 0.3.1), I was able to flash the 0.3.2 kernel but I can no longer mount the N810 partitions on the Linux host.

fdisk /dev/sda results in "unable to open /dev/sda"

/var/log/messages is filled with "Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 0" and "scsi 11:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to dead device"

dmesg shows

usb-storage: Vendor <NULL> Model: <NULL>

and

sd 15:0:0:0:Attached scsi removable disk sda

./adb shell shows "error: device not found"

Anyone face this? I'm in a half-loaded state with the 0.3.2 kernel but the 0.3.1 rootfs. The tablet and Internet both work, but I'd like to know how to get fully updated.

Any ideas? How do I mount /dev/sda3 on my linux host again now that Android is running?

N810 on a CentOS 5 host.

Thanks!

EDIT: I needed to reflash to the Maemo kernel, push the new rootfs, and then reflash to the latest nitdroid kernel. Nitdroid doesn't export the partitions in the same way the maemo kernel does

Please help as I'm really anxious to see it working.

Thanks.
That would definitely be abnormal. Mine takes 5 min at most the first time I boot NITdroid.

EasternPA, flash back to maemo kernel, upload the new rootfs, then flash back to Android.

Takes about 10 minutes max.

Thanks, TSL. Worked fine.

I see a dialog

Sorry!

Application Settings (in process com.android.settings) is not responding.

Force close | Wait

on every cold boot. Saw it under 0.3.1 and 0.3.2.

Does the current version allow you to boot to Maemo from Android yet? I haven't been following the development for a few weeks. That was the part that was stopping me install it and keep it around more than a day.

Memson - We still have to reflash to maemo in order to update the installed android filesystem, so while Maemo is an option on the shutdown menu, no is not a seamless reboot at this time. As I understand it a boot selector is under development.
