put it below a little more detailed from top of my head. this is a little tricky for me, as i patched uboot up, so that i do not need a boot.scr. because of that the boot.scr thing is not tested. tell me if i messed something up. and take all the parameters meego has.

if you go for variant b) you need no boot.scr. you only need the uImage on the vfat and thats it.

for what it's worth what i really do is:
Code:
cd <kernelsrc>
git checkout <branch>
export ARCH=arm INSTALL_MOD_PATH=build_modules
....
make uImage modules modules_install
rsync ....
thats it. boot. way easier but less failproof....

some other guy claimed that problems may occur if you don't have it in. haven't seen problems without that and it should handle it that way anyways. but as you usually don't want them started at boottime. it doesn't hurt so i put it in to be on the safe side. thats all.

if you configure wlan you will have set it up anyways which is not handled and maybe should also take care of routing problems that might occur with usb0 and wlan0 ....
this is to get the thing started and have a hook to talk to the thing(even if keyboard is not working). if it works: set it up the way you want it(and then you might want to use networkmanager or deinstall nm alltogether).

to be clear: like i stated i don't do it that way(i rsync and use an initrd and mount the root from nfs ...). i just tried to give an "easy" howto. with easy steps. tried the steps to not miss out anything(hope i didn't) and wrote them down.

how about extracting the modules from the meego image and upload it to somewhere else?

should save users a lot of time instead of downloading the meego kernel/image,mounting it, and grab the modules.. =)

hi,
i changed something in the litle howto to clarify parts and eliminate some traps.
i went through everything again and now also testet the boot.src: it works.
i did it in the original post to have everything together and not again in lots of different posts so that you can go step by step through it:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=321

for the uploading request:never mind but if i load something up somewhere, it is a kernel i rolled which has only components in it that are free and that works(not one under construction.)...

for the speedtesters: mount the sd sync and not async otherwise you get very wrong results. if you see lags: thats the kernel writing its cache to sd when the sd is mounted async.

well if it was a computer i could say: everything works. but for the n900 there is more TODO then done... never said anything else: under construction. yesterday i succeded in making a call now head for a frontend to ...

it only looked like the folks wanted to see something even if it doesn't work fully. well, now they can.

man, that is a console line with the only interesting part in it the phonenumber and a ringing second phone. ofono detects the phone without any config. start the daemon and it finds it. but i did it with the git version and without pin. nice anyways! kudos go to the ofono and the meego folks.
lets see if i can talk once i have connected a frontend....
