Hi,

I am trying to run Nitdroid on my n900. However I am hitting a problem when it comes to boot.

I copied the bootmenu entry from /etc/multiboot.d -> /etc/bootmenu.d
Fine uboot-update-menu can find the nitdroid config however, after reboot, the kernel cannot be found. I tried various directorieslike
/boot
/boot/multiboot
MyDocs/bootmenu.img.d
/opt/boot

etc

Only the nitdroid kernel is not seen. The power and default kernel work nice.

Any advise?

I think you misread something. But could also be me as I do not use it anymore on my N900 (as N9 does the Nitdroid job better, but even there I touch Android only with fingertips ).

The config file is not the same. It needs different parameters (especially OMAPATAG).
I will attach my config (multiboot as well as u-boot later).
the kernel needs to be in /boot (or iirc also /opt/boot possible) and will be copied to MyDocs/bootmenu.img.d by runnning u-boot-update-bootmenu

BUT what could be a road stopper is that nit forum is down. And there was nice tut how to configure nitdroid to run with u-boot (some system files needed adaptions)
Maybe this info has been spread elsewhere ...


multiboot config (for nit on SD card):
~ $ cat /etc/multiboot.d/11-NITDroid-mmcblk1p2-2.6.28.NIT.07.item
ITEM_NAME="NITDroid 2.6.28.NIT.07 on mmcblk1p2"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.NIT.07
ITEM_MODULES=ext3
ITEM_DEVICE=${EXT_CARD}p2
ITEM_FSTYPE=ext3
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro
bootmenu/u-boot config (also SD card):
~ $ cat /etc/bootmenu.d/11-NITDroid-2.6.28.NIT.07.item
ITEM_NAME="NITDroid 2.6.28.NIT.07"
ITEM_KERNEL="2.6.28.NIT.07"
ITEM_CMDLINE="snd-soc-rx51.hp_lim=42 snd-soc-tlv320aic3x.hp_dac_lim=6 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 rw rootwait init=/init panic=30 debug"
ITEM_OMAPATAG="1"

Yes, it can.

but officially only supported with u-boot (which needs tweaking of some nit system files - unfortunately this info is gone with forum.nitdroid.com); multiboot can be achieved with manual tweaking
