The problem has certainly affected me. I tried the instructions given in the Millhouse thread and the Nuclear instructions, as recommended on the tablet hacker site. I will try the fixes mentioned above.
TIA,

I want to buy a new SDHC card for booting OS2008 from it.
What do you think is the card with the best performace? I think about transfer speed that the OS runs very fast.
The capacity is really not important as long as it is 4 or 8 or 16 GB.
And would the OS be faster or slower with this card compared to the build-in memory?
(didn't know if i should post in the sdhc thread or here, but it's related to OS-booting so...)
Thanks

@Fanoush: On N800, how can I edit/add a pointer to bootmenu to have options boot from 1) internal flash,
2) internal SD (mmcblk0)
3) external SD (mmcblk1)
I already cloned OS on 2 SD cards, and they have different contents, I would like to have options to choose booting, rather than physically swap them. Would edit the bootmenu.conf work? If so, please spoon feed with instructions, thanks.
I want to do the same to N810, are they,
1) internal flash, 256 MB
2) internal card, 2G (mmcblk0)
3) external card, SD (mmcblk1)
I made these up. I am totally confused with this internal/external things. They are like playing rudby
I did read up thread #50s, not quite sure 'how to approach it though, in particular to avoid re-flash if possible as i have accumulated quite some progs by now and dont quite trust 'restore'.
TIA,
bun

Fanoush is this a bug? I am booting N810 off both mmc1 and mmc2. I noticed it when trying to mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 to access some files.
Any Ideas?

I'm not sure what causes it, just that it happens for some reason.

If so, please spoon feed with instructions, thanks.

Sadly I still had no time to update flasher with similar workaround. I'd like to fix it in kernel and have the workaround working with both fixed and broken kernel.
