I want to install meego on my n900 (https://meego.com/devices/handset/in...ego-nokia-n900) But i'm wondering if I can copy it to my internal partition (dd bs=4096 if=meego-handset-armv7l-n900-*-mmcblk0p.raw of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 [MyDocs partition]).

How do you think ?

Format emmc. Add a smaller ext3 partition.

i tried to install the latest image:

mg-handset-armv7nhl-n900-de-sanity-1.1.99.7.20110516.2.DE.2011-05-23.1-mmcblk0p.raw

to /dev/mmcblk1p3 partition of my 16gb SD card (i created it for this one - partition size is 6GB)
with command:

dd if=/home/user/MyDocs/installations/meego/mg.raw of=/dev/mmcblk1p3

sometimes the device reboots during the process unexpectedley, and when it doesn't i get a console message like this:
XXXXX records in
XXXXX records out

after the process finishes with the above messages, the partition is not accesible - i cannot mount to it and see its content so i guess this actually means that the process failed but i don't know why.

Anyone had this and solved it?

after this the partition is not accesible and recognized - i cannot mount to it and see it content so the process failed.

Anyone knows why this is happening?
No, you don't install it to a partition. Use parted to check the first partition, loopmount it, and copy it to the first partition of the SD Card. (cp -a /meego/* /sdcard).
mmcblk1p3 must have the boot partition if you use uBoot. If you have any problems with the partitioning, please go ***** loudly at the uBoot devs.

i am using multi boot - the 1st partition is used for FAT32 for storage, 2nd is for Nitdroid and i want to add the 3rd one as Meego - i want to keep the configuration with these 3 - not Meego only on the SD.

The "dd" process seem to have a problem in completing the RAW image copy - can that be because of space issue (6GB not enough?)

Sadly, I don't think you can do this yet. Something tells me MeeGo is hardcoded to load from the first partition of MMC/eMMC.

But the problem happens even before the load issue - i cannot seem to extract the RAW image appropriately...

if i'll pass this stage i will try to move it to 1st partition if there will be a need for it, but i'm still not there.

The unexpected reboots under heavy load are some kind of bug since PR1.3. They mostly happen when dd=...if=-ing or when extractig large volumes. No fix for this yet...
For some reasons it's working fine under recovery mode from a linux pc via putty or terminal.
