Thanks for the quick answer misiak.
I did an "mv bt5.img bt5.ext3" but it shows the same output, only with "fs type is ext3", but then the same than before error shows up :-/. Thanks anyways.
If someone more knows whats happening, just tell me.
EDIT:
BTW trying to qchroot in MyDocs's VFAT partition, it is ok?
And I want to add to my previous post that after a reboot now "apt-get install lxde xserver-xephyr wmctrl" worked. After copying of /usr/bin/xeph* and /usr/bin/startlxde* and /usr/bin/set-focus (and maybe other scripts, just see if it complains) command "xephwm5" opened a BackTrack desktop, just in lxde, not default Gnome (and apps in the menu are not showing correctly), but hey, it's some progress :P Anyway, if I understand correctly and this is just modified arm Ubuntu, we could just add the backtrack arm repositories to some clean Easy Debian image (or maybe better - Ubuntu which works on N900- NITUbuntu?), apt-get all packages, customize lxde menus and have "Easy Backtrack" far easier... I will try to do this now (if I succeed, I will upload the image), for me now better news than "BackTrack 5 (arm) released" is
Code:
deb http://all.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing deb http://source.repository.backtrack.linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing deb http://armel.repository.backtrack-linux.org revolution main microverse non-free testing

Everybody having keyboard issues, use sequels script. https://seventhoctober.net/2011/05/b...on-nokia-n900/,
It worked for me now I need to try the other vnc client as presence crashes alot
Misiak that would be nice too, I already was thinking of making a Backtrack version from Easy Debian. Didn't do anything yet, just some thinking

It not only looks but BackTrack is based on Ubuntu From version 5 of backtrack they use 10.04, Backtrack 4 used 9.04 if I recall correctly when I was using backtrack on my laptop some time ago Then I got a N900 and stopped playing with backtrack but still dreaming to run it on the N900. Now its possible 
Well we have actually 2 choices: 1 Make Backtrack from Easy Debian
2 Make backtrack from Ubuntu ARM (10.04 would be best I think)

In my attempts to get rid of VNC, I got it to show gnome-desktop in Xephyr window while in chroot (like Easy Debian), but it rebooted after few seconds (although it showed desktop for a moment - progress! )... Probably due to N900 out of RAM (it was reaching 100% at the moment of reboot), but I need to investigate further. What I did (if you want to follow, first download the backtrackscripts.tar file attached to this post, these are modified Easy Debian scripts):
WARNING! Only for "professionals" at the moment, just need some feedback and maybe help ;P
Now a new window should open (disregard any Easy-Debian or LXDE captions, now these are just scripts from Easy Debian with few modifications) and you should see BackTrack loading. If someone really followed my steps, please report if it rebooted after loading the desktop or it worked
Edit: it seems adding user and running xephwm5 as user ("misiak" in my case) makes it load fully and run for a little longer, but still reboot :/ Investigating further (creating swap partition on microsd now and will try to use "swapon /dev/mmcblk1p4" right after chrooting)

You might trying doing it that way. It shouldn't make any difference, but maybe it does.
I'd rather not post the pastie link directly, as the steps leading up to it are a little different than the ones listed here.
