Think it might be time for a reflash mate. I'm having awful trouble with it myself. Got a bit further than you by the sounds of it tho

Use the guide here to reflash and start from scratch?

oh well. I gave it a shot but obviously it isn't meant for everyone just yet. Did follow the instructions to the letter though so not sure why the install messed up.

I had the same problem, your rootfs on N900 got mounted instead of your sdcard, so it installed NITdroid there and the maemo OS already takes up alot of space + apps. Thats why you had 0mb's left there and you went out of space. You must never reboot your N900 when in 'trouble' it doesn't work like windows that some problems get fixed with a reboot. Just come back here in the forums and ask what to do if ever in a situation like this again

Theres was a simple solution for your problem, if remember correct:

cd /and 'enter'
rm -r * 'enter'
And then start over with the mounting and extracting.
(somebody correct me if i'm wrong)

Sounds like a reflash

e: I correct myself, the correct code is:
cd /and 'enter'
rm -rf * 'enter'

Anyone know how to remove the partition on an SD card?

The Disk Manager tool on windows can see both partitions but I can only format, not delete

Try using an Ubuntu LiveCD and use gparted. Very easy to use.

Alright, sorry for asking this question again and again .. but I just want to sum it up altogether ..

Based on the answers I have previously recieved, it seems that the *official* Android Market *is not* available if I install Android 2.1 port, but it *is* available if I install the Android 2.2 port ......... correct .. ?

And which guide is the most up-to-date (since this thing is evolving so quickly!) .. ?

Hi,

I was trying to install with the commands based on :

http://wiki.nitdroid.com/index.php?title=N900-install

But, after the third command of :

sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF,6100MB,C,,L,,,,EOF

the xterm cursor is left with ">" and whatever i type has no more reactions ... did i miss out anything with the above command?

Please help. Thanks.
