It does the linuxrc problem and reboots when trying to start Deblet or?
except that it wrote the wrong device name (mmcblk1 instead of mmcblk0) because in SD the device names are reversed. So it says "Boot Failed... " and then resets.

EDIT: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2747 illustrates that problem - it's my installers problem and I'll look into it.

FYI, the dialog box for root password in the new installer seems to automatically uppercase the first letter.

Thanks to the people tracing down the problem - installer 1.2-7 now has the INT_CARD/EXT_CARD confusion fixed and the .deb has been updated.
I tested it through the functions which take care of the bootmenu item writing, so hope it works in general. If not, do complain

Of course, fix it 20 minutes after I finish a fresh install. :P
Thanks for the update I'm sure I'll be running through the installer again shortly.

fatalsaint,
thanks for the info on using a USB keyboard. It works like a charm, life can sometimes be soo easy
the command is this:
to reverse, use "otg" instead of "host".
I'll tinker a bit with bluetooth/mobile phone and see if I can get something to work.
On a different note: How do I mount my other partitions on my sd-cards? They show up in nautilus by names (Kingston) but I can't mount them:

Hey all,
First of all, congrats to all of you who had made this thing possible. I've been playing around with these packages with no luck up to now. Installed from the latest version (1.2-7) to my external 4G mmc on the N810. It installs ok (apparently).
Then it reboots, I choose "Deblet on External-MMC-p1". It shows:
"Starting linuxrc from deblet-external-MMC-p1 (mtblock4 ext3)"
after a while it reboots.
I've read this whole thread a couple of times and tried some things that I saw here, or that I figured from previous linux experience but I got to admit I pretty much lost on this one.
Can anyone give me some pointers on this problem?
Thank you all.

/etc/bootmenu.d/deblet-external-MMC-p1.item:
ITEM_NAME="Deblet on external-MMC-p1"
ITEM_ID="deblet-external-MMC-p1"
ITEM_DEVICE="mmcblk1p1"
ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"
ITEM_FSOPTIONS="noatime,ro"
ITEM_LINUXRC="linuxrc"
BTW, I'm installing this with /usr/sbin/install_bootmenu

All times are GMT. The time now is 10:34.
Speaking of which, I had a couple of thoughts on 'best practices":
1. Shouldn't we kinda recommend installing to mmc? Given the limited number of write cycles, I'd hate to burn up the internal (non-replaceable) storage on the device instead of a (relatively) cheap mini or micro mmc card.
2. Wouldn't ext2 be a better choice for the fs? It seems to me that using a journalling filesystem eats up a lot of write cycles unnecessarily- it's definitely a better filesystem overall, but in this specific case I'd think that ext2 would be a better choice than ext3.
