Hi guys,

I am experiencing an annoying problem with my Nitdroid install (edit: last N12 version).
I get the following message "Root filesystem mmcblk0p5 NOT available! Guru Meditation #00000025.62017712" when I choose the Nitdroid entry in Multiboot WITH the external memory card plugged. If I unplug it, Nitdroid just start fine.

As you can imagine, I installed Nitdroid when the external memory was not present. I could just reinstall it with the memory card plugged but I was wondering maybe there is a smarter way to fix this problem.

My multiboot entry is like this:

...
ITEM_MODULES=ext3
ITEM_DEVICE=${EXT_CARD}p5
ITEM_FSTYPE=ext3
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro

I replaced ${EXT_CARD}p5 with mmcblk0p5 but it doesn't change anything...which doesn't really surprise me since the error message indicates that the soft knows what to do but the resource is not usable ("NOT available", see above). Any idea on how to fix this ?

Thanks in advance for your help !
Vlad

Now, with all this SOPA, PIPA and ACTA going around, sites that stop working suddenly are weird cases

Hope it's just maintenance.

Alexey tweeted yesterday that he's relocating servers, so it'll be down for a bit.

We'll have to wait patiently

- Naw, no, neyt, nein..
That makes you no douche, it's saying "Don't listen to idiots who ..(etc.)" that does make you so. Intelligent discourse can be civil too, plus, ad hominem commenting in forums.. doesn't get it too far. We both are guilty of it..

As for my signature, you should smack it back to me - i was clearly ignorant about the case you presented. I was helped solve my various problems with the device by michaaa62, ammyt, Estel, etc. at various points of time (what exceptional patience they have with n00b-boobs like me) - i am no expert, and am learning. The process is expedited if i am corrected.. i actually learned from you. So thank you.

Anyway, i wrote quoting you because i felt you could point out the fact that flashing was not necessary - more elegantly. I was attempting to help, and you obviously helped better, and the next time, i can redirect another poor soul to the link you pointed to, rather than suggesting a reflash. Definitely this is how we'll all grow to learn more.. and it'll be much nicer without the condescension, just that.

I will totally understand if you still feel that saying "..don't listen to idiots who.." - we are, after-all digital acquaintances, and we can both be jerks if we wanted to, even if that's not who we really are.

..long post, i know.. still.
Cheers.

{edit: I just saw that this is far from the perimeter of this thread; my apologies. So i'll end by reading you reply, if any. Thanx!}

Put it into /usr/share as root.
The symlink to /home/usr/share is broken and will get wiped anyway if you invoke nitdroid-uninstaller in some future.

Though you may want to edit the moveroot script to move the folders to /home/opt/usr/share which will not get touched by nitdroid stuff any time (soon???), hopefully!

do it like this ${INT_CARD}p2 (mine is at p2, change ur to p5)

your nitdroid will boot up with card in it.
